In one of the major peacetime rescue operations, the Indian Army has deployed men and machinery including latest equipment to rescue the Amarnath pilgrims who were injured in the flash flood triggered by heavy rain.

According to weather scientists, the Amarnath shrine reported 31 mm of rainfall between 4.30 pm and 6.30 pm on Friday, which is quite low to be categorised as a cloudburst.

Amarnath yatra has been temporarily halted. According to an Army official, mountain rescue teams and lookout patrols were looking for missing people.

Lt Governor Manoj Sinha and Director General of Police Dilbag Singh lauded the villagers for their courage and announced cash rewards for them.

The Jammu and Kashmir administration has released pilgrimage guidelines ahead of the Yatra so that devotees who intend to visit Barfani Baba's sacred shrine can prepare.
