Jammu: The Amarnath Yatra was suspended on Saturday due to inclement weather and a forecast of heavy rain, particularly in the Jammu division of Jammu and Kashmir. No pilgrims were allowed to move from Jammu towards the Valley.
Officials said no fresh batch of Yatris was permitted to leave the Bhagwati Nagar Yatri Niwas in Jammu for the base camps. The situation will be reviewed depending on weather conditions, and the status of the Jammu–Srinagar National Highway will be monitored closely, as it is the only road used by pilgrims to reach the Yatra base camps.
