India News : It could take years to re-build Uttarakhand which has been devastated by landslides and floods that followed the torrential rains, but the images of devastation haven't deterred pilgrims who are set to start the Amarnath yatra on Friday. Close to 12,000 pilgrims have been registered for the yatra.
Devotees will trek 3,880 metres through a rugged and treacherous terrain making them susceptible to mishaps. The climb - whether on foot or horseback - can get really risky on two counts. Firstly, the trek gets very slippery even to slightest of rains. This coupled with the inability of the shrine board to regulate pilgrim rush, usually the highest in the first week, increases the chances of a tragedy as fatal as the one seen in Uttarakhand.
