Amarnath yatra ends

SRINAGAR AUG. 22. Undeterred by the inclement weather and two deadly militant strikes, over one lakh pilgrims had `darshan' of the ice `lingam' during the month-long Amarnath yatra which concluded with the `Chhari Mubarak' (holy mace of Lord Shiva) reaching the cave shrine of Amarnath in the Kashmir Himalayas today. During the pilgrimage, militants killed 11 devotees and injured several in two separate strikes to disrupt the yatra, which commenced on July 22 amid tight security arrangements. — PTI
