SRINAGAR, (PTK): Panic gripped the Kashmir Valley after the Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) government’s security advisory on Friday for tourists and pilgrims of Amarnath Yatra to curtail their pilgrimage.

The tourists and the Amarnath Yatra pilgrims started leaving the Kashmir Valley on Saturday, even as J&K Governor Satya Pal Malik said there was no need to panic. The airfares of the airlines rising to abnormally high levels also created panic among the tourists and the Amarnath Yatra pilgrims.
