Jammu, July 04: The Amarnath yatra was on Saturday suspended from here due to snowfall in some places along the
Pahalgam route to the cave shrine in South Kashmir Himalayas.
The Amarnath Shrine Board had advised local
authorities that the pilgrimage should not be allowed from
Jammu in view of the bad weather.
In order to avoid rush at the base camp at Nunwan in
Pahalgam, authorities did not allow a fresh batch to proceed
for the shrine.
The yatra has been suspended many times in this season
due to inclement weather in the Kashmir Valley.
