Amarnath Yatra: 6,400 pilgrims leave Jammu base camp for Kashmir
The third batch of 6,411 pilgrims — 4,723 men, 1,071 women, 37 children, and 580 sadhus and sadhvis — left in 291 vehicles, they said. About 14,000 pilgrims have prayed at the 3,880 metre-high cave shrine since Thursday when the 38-day annual yatra commenced from Pahalgam in Anantnag district and Baltal in Ganderbal district – the two conventional tracks –, officials said. Jammu, Jul 4 (PTI) The third batch of over 6,400 pilgrims left the Bhagwati Nagar base camp in Jammu in two separate convoys on Friday to join the annual Amarnath pilgrimage in the Kashmir Himalayas, officials said. The batch left the Bhagwati Nagar Yatri Niwas in two groups for Baltal and Pahalgam at 3.15 am and 4 am, escorted by CRPF. While 3,622 pilgrims took the 48-kilometre traditional Pahalgam route in 138 vehicles, 2,789 pilgrims, ferried in 153 vehicles, took the shorter but steeper 14-kilometre Baltal route. With the fresh departure, a total of 17,549 pilgrims have left the Jammu base camp for the Valley since Wednesday, when Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha flagged off the yatra from here. The yatra goes on as usual, albeit in tighter security, despite the April 22 Pahalgam attack in which 26 men were gunned down. The Bhagwati Nagar base camp has been put under a multi-tier security cover. More than 3.5 lakh people have registered online for the pilgrimage so far. Thirty-four accommodation centres have been set up across Jammu, and Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags are being issued to the pilgrims. Twelve counters have been set up for an on-the-spot registration of pilgrims. PTI AB VN VN This report is auto-generated from PTI news service. ThePrint holds no responsibility for its content.

CIMB Securities upgrades Hap Seng Plantations to 'Buy' on solid fundamentals
KUALA LUMPUR: CIMB Securities Sdn Bhd has upgraded Hap Seng Plantations Holdings Bhd to a 'Buy' call from 'Hold' with an unchanged target price of RM2.02 per share, citing attractive valuations following a recent share price correction. The firm said the stock's valuation has become compelling, with an enterprise value (EV) of RM25,000 per hectare for its planted estates, which is below the estimated replanting cost of RM30,000 per hectare. CIMB Securities projects weaker sequential earnings due to a lower average crude palm oil (CPO) price of RM4,319 per tonne in April 2025, compared to an average of RM4,723 per tonne in the first quarter of financial year 2025 (1QFY25). However, it noted that the downside is expected to be partly offset by higher fresh fruit bunch (FFB) output. Hap Seng recorded FFB production of 51,387 tonnes in April, representing an 8.8 per cent increase month-on-month and a 12.5 per cent rise year-on-year (YoY). "We believe the stock has re-rating potential, supported by its undervalued estates, a solid net cash position of RM585 million or 73 sen per share as of March 31, 2025, and projected dividend yields of 4.6 per cent to 5.5 per cent for FY25 to FY27, based on a 60 per cent payout ratio," the firm said in a note. CIMB Securities has re-evaluated its stance on Hap Seng Plantations following the release of the company's first quarter earnings. The company reported a core net profit of RM39 million for 1QFY25, representing a 60.5 per cent YoY increase but a 35.5 per cent quarter-on-quarter decline. "The results were broadly in line with our and consensus expectations, accounting for 29 per cent of our and 25 per cent of consensus full-year estimates. "The main disappointment was the 11 per cent YoY and 27 per cent QoQ drop in FFB output, attributed to wet weather across Hap Seng's estates, falling short of the FY25 target of 9.0 per cent FFB output growth," it added.
