Shri Amarnath Ji Yatra has been suspended from both the Baltal and Pahalgam routes in Jammu and Kashmir. In a statement, Divisional Commissioner of Kashmir, Vijay Kumar Bidhuri, said that due to the recent heavy rains, critical repair and maintenance works are required on both the Baltal and Pahalgam routes. Â
He said it has been observed that due to continued deployment of men and machinery on the tracks, the Administration would not be able to resume the Yatra. More than 4.14 lakh yatris paid obeisance at the Holy Cave of Shri Amarnathji this year, since the commencement of Yatra on the 3rd of last month.
