Nearly 48,000 devotees performed the ongoing Amarnath Yatra during the last three days amid tight security arrangements, with another batch of 7,208 pilgrims leaving Jammu for Kashmir on Sunday. 
The officials said over 21,000 Yatris had ‘darshan’ inside the holy cave shrine on Saturday, adding that another batch of 7,208 Yatris left the Bhagwati Nagar Yatri Niwas in Jammu for the Valley in two escorted convoys on Sunday.
“The first escorted convoy is carrying pilgrims to North Kashmir Baltal base camp while the second escorted convoy is carrying Yatris to South Kashmir Nunwan (Pahalgam) base camp”, officials said.

Officials of Shri Amarnathji Shrine Board (SASB), which manages the affairs of the annual pilgrimage, said that in addition to the number of Yatris coming to the Bhagwati Nagar Yatri Niwas in Jammu, many Yatris are reporting directly at Baltal and Nunwan (Pahalgam) base camps for on-spot registration to join the Yatra.
