The annual Amarnath Yatra is set to begin on July 3 and conclude on August 8. Securing the pilgrimage is regarded as one of the Valley’s most extensive security exercises. This year’s yatra, significantly shorter than last year’s 52-day schedule, comes in the backdrop of the April 22 terrorist attack that claimed the lives of 25 tourists and a local resident.
