Amarnath cloudburst: J & K administration sets up helpline numbers; Check out the full list
The victims were camping near the Amarnath cave shrine, when the cloudburst occurred around 6 pm Friday. The flash flood washed away a part of the camp. At least 15,000 pilgrims, who were stranded near the Amarnath holy cave, have been shifted to the lower base camp of Panjtarni, and “no yatri is left on the track”, an Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) spokesperson was quoted by news agency PTI as saying. Rescue operations are underway.
The Lt Governor and the Shri Amarnath Shrine Board (SASB) gave out four telephone numbers where people can get call to get information about the cloudburst:
