In the wake of the Pahalgam terrorist attack, which happened in April this year, the government has ramped up security arrangements for the Amarnath Yatra.
The attacks on Amarnath Yatra have been happening for years make it clear that Islamic terrorists not only have a problem with Hindu religious places and pilgrimages, but they have a problem with Hindus in general.
"As Amarnath yatra is approaching, this seems to be a ploy to disturb the yatra. One civilian is injured and there is no hostage situation," Jammu ADGP Anand Jain said
Heavy rainfall and landslide were reported on Friday evening however the situation worsened after the cloudburst occurred on Saturday at around 5:30 am
Union Home Minister Amit Shah tweeted, "NDRF, CRPF, BSF, and the local administration are giving their best in rescue operations in Amarnath. Saving lives is our priority."
