Amarnath Yatra Suspended

:Due to recent heavy rainfall and the need for track maintenance along both the Baltal and Pahalgam axes of the Shri Amarnathji Yatra route, the Yatra movement has been closed on both the tracks.

Divisional Commissioner Kashmir, Vijay Kumar Bidhuri, stated, “Due to the recent heavy rains, critical repair and maintenance works are required on both the Baltal and Pahalgam routes.

It has been observed that due to continued deployment of men and machinery on the tracks from tomorrow, we would not be able to resume yatra. The Yatra will therefore remain suspended from 3rd August onwards from both the routes.”
More than 4.10 lakh yatris paid obeisance at the Holy Cave of Shri Amarnathji this year.

The annual Shri Amarnathji Yatra was suspended on Wednesday from both Pahalgam and Baltal base camps following heavy rainfall in the region.

Officials said the decision was taken in view of continuous downpour since early morning, which has made the trekking routes unsafe for movement.

Divisional Commissioner Kashmir, Vijay Kumar Bidhuri, informed that the Yatra was not allowed to proceed from either the Baltal route or the Nunwan-Chandanwari track due to inclement weather and safety concerns.

So far, over 3.93 lakh pilgrims have performed darshan at the holy cave shrine since the commencement of the Yatra in June.(KNS).
