The Amarnath Yatra resumed from the Baltal axis on Thursday, following a weather-induced suspension, according to official sources.
The pilgrimage, however, remains halted from the Pahalgam axis to carry out vital maintenance after torrential rains rendered the roads unsafe, authorities stated.
To date, the holy cave has received over 3.93 lakh devotees since the annual event began on July 3, with it set to conclude on August 9.
