Amarnath Yatra temporarily suspended

Srinagar: The Amarnath Yatra was temporarily suspended on both routes to the cave shrine on Saturday as a precautionary measure due to heavy rainfall, officials said.

Intermittent heavy rainfall has been seen along the Baltal and Pahalgam routes since last night, they said.

The decision to temporarily suspend the yatra was taken as a precautionary measure to ensure the safety of the pilgrims, the officials added.

The Holy Yatra began on June 29 from the twin tracks of Baltal and Phalagam and will culminate on August 19. (with Agency inputs)
