At least seven pilgrims, comprising three women, were killed and eight injured in a road crash in Haryana's Jind district early Tuesday, police said.
After it continued smoothly and peacefully during the last 52 days with nearly five lakh Yatris having ‘darshan’ inside the cave shrine, the annual Amarnath Yatra will conclude on Monday.
After the Centre unveiled the ‘Haj Policy 2025’ yesterday, the state Haj Committee is now gearing up to conduct an intensive campaign on maximising usage of the ‘Haj Suvidha’ mobile application among the pilgrims intending to head towards Mecca.
As more than 4.85 lakh pilgrims already performed the annual Amarnath Yatra during the last 35 days, a small batch of 991 Yatris left for the Valley on Saturday, officials said.
The Indian Army on Friday said that it has received confirmed intelligence inputs on terrorists backed by Pakistan army trying to disrupt Amarnath Yatra in Jammu and Kashmir.
The security forces have busted a number of terror caches along the pilgrimage route and recovered a Pakistan Army landmine and an M-24 American sniper rifle with a telescope from one of them.
Over 1.50 lakh pilgrims have performed the ongoing Amarnath Yatra so far, since the annual pilgrimage to the Himalayan cave shrine started on July 1.
The incident came to light on Thursday when a tourist accused the local police of misbehaving with pilgrims and a video connected to the incident went viral on social media.
The decision to abolish the Haj subsidy was taken during a federal cabinet meeting chaired by Prime Minister Imran Khan in Islamabad recently.
