Srinagar- In a record, the annual Amarnath yatra crossed the three-lakh mark on Tuesday, the 12th day of the pilgrimage this year, Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha said.
Sinha commended all the officials, service providers and volunteers, saying their dedication and hard work have made the holy pilgrimage smooth and memorable for every devotee of Baba Barfani.
“Shri Amarnath Ji Yatra has set a historic new record, crossing the 3 lakh mark in just 12 days,” Sinha said in a post on his personal handle on X.
The yatra, which began on July 3, had crossed the two-lakh mark on July 10.
It will culminate on August 28 on the occasion of Raksha Bandhan.
Last year, a total of 4.10 lakh pilgrims performed the yatra and had a glimpse of the naturally formed ice lingam in the south Kashmir Himalayas.
