The Shri Amarnath Yatra from Jammu has been suspended as a safety measure due to heavy rainfall, officials said on Saturday. The Met Department has forecast continued heavy rain, especially in the Jammu division, until August 11. There has also been a decline in pilgrim arrivals, NDTV reports. The decision was taken to prevent any risk to the devotees. The yatra will resume only when the weather improves.
