Rescue efforts to track Amarnath pilgrims who went missing after the flash floods last week resumed Sunday afternoon, after bad weather delayed the operations in the morning.

An official release said that Lt Governor Sinha reviewed the rescue operations during a meeting with the officials at the Nunwan base camp in Pahalgam. “The Lt Governor was briefed about the rescue and relief operations, debris clearance, deployment of machinery and manpower,” the official release said. It said the Lt Governor will stay overnight at Pahalgam to monitor the efforts.
