J-K: 8th batch of devotees departs for Amarnath Yatra from Nunwan base camp

Pahalgam (Jammu and Kashmir) [India], July 10 (ANI): The eighth batch of devotees departed from Nunwan base camp in Pahalgam for their pilgrimage to the Holy cave of Amarnath on Thursday morning. The 38-day annual Amarnath pilgrimage to the 3,880-metre-high holy cave shrine in South Kashmir began on July 3 and will conclude on August 9. Surender, a devotee from Jaipur on his third Amarnath visit, applauded the management for the arrangements. 'This is my third management here is very good. People are cooperating with us a lot...I will pray for the well-being of everyone...' Surender told ANI. Ambika, another pilgrim, stated that she prayed for the peace and happiness of all during the visit. 'The government has made very good arrangements...I will pray for peace and happiness,' Ambika told ANI. Meanwhile, free langar (community kitchen) services continue to support pilgrims en route, especially at the Jammu base camp and several locations along the National Highway. Virender Kumar Sharma, who has been organising the langar facility for the past 17 years, said, 'We have been running this langar for almost 17 years, and it's a completely free service. People come from far-off places, and whoever comes here, they have devotion towards it and also make donations. There are many langars in the city, but we run this langar for free and don't expect anything in return.' The pilgrimage is taking place simultaneously via both the Pahalgam route (Anantnag district) and the Baltal route (Ganderbal district). Amarnath Yatra is an annual pilgrimage to the Amarnath cave, where devotees pay homage to an ice stalagmite believed to be the lingam of Lord Shiva. The ice stalagmite forms every year during the summer months and reaches its maximum size in July and August, when thousands of Hindu devotees make an annual pilgrimage to the cave. (ANI)

In separate incidents, two men arrested in Delhi for killing their fathers

In two separate cases of patricide reported in Delhi within 24 hours since Friday evening, two men were arrested for allegedly murdering their fathers following heated arguments. In the first incident, which occurred around 7.30 pm on Friday in North Delhi's Timarpur, Head Constable Nitin, while on patrol, heard the sound of a gunshot and rushed to the scene. He found a man lying unconscious on the footpath and several people attempting to wrest a firearm from a younger man. The deceased was identified as 60-year-old Surender, a sub-inspector from the Central Industrial Security Force who had retired around six months ago. His son, Deepak (26), was apprehended from the spot with a 12-bore gun, said police. 'Surender wanted to shift to his native place in Uttarakhand with his family after retirement. He had loaded the household articles in a tempo and was ready to leave… Deepak also wanted to go in the tempo. But there was space for only one passenger in the vehicle. They had an intense argument over who would get to go, and Deepak, who was carrying his father's 12-bore gun, fired upon his father…,' said DCP (North) Raja Banthia. The bullet struck Surender on the left cheek and caused multiple splinter injuries to his face, said police. The family rushed Surender to Hindu Rao Hospital, where he was declared brought dead. Deepak was arrested and charged under Section 103(1) (murder) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and also under the Arms Act. The weapon used in the crime, along with 11 live cartridges, was seized from Deepak, said police. In a separate case reported in Central Delhi's Paharganj the same day, a 45-year-old man, Vinod, was assaulted by his son Bhanu Pratap near Ambedkar Bhawan, said police. 'An eyewitness stated that he saw the deceased being assaulted in a nearby park by his son Bhanu Pratap, who pushed him and struck him with stones on the head and the chest,' said DCP (Central) Nidhin Valsan. Despite seeking treatment at a local clinic, Vinod succumbed to his injuries, said police. A murder case was registered at Paharganj police station under Section 103(1) (murder) of the BNS. Bhanu Pratap, who was arrested on Saturday, has admitted to having frequent arguments with his father, claiming that he assaulted him in a fit of rage, said police.
