The rescue teams from the police and health department rushed to the spot immediately and shifted the injured pilgrims to the District Hospital Ramban for medical attention.
The Amarnath Yatra began on July 3 this year and will continue till August 9, coinciding with Shravan Purnima and Raksha Bandhan.
The pilgrims approach the holy cave shrine situated 3,888 metres above sea level in the Kashmir Himalayas from two routes — one traditional Pahalgam route or the other shorter Baltal route.
Those who use the Pahalgam route have to pass through Chandanwari, Sheshnag, and Panchtarni to reach the shrine and have to cover 46 km on foot.
