The Story in Brief
The Shri Amarnath Yatra has been suspended from Jammu since Saturday due to heavy rainfall in the region, officials told indiatvnews.com. The downpour is expected to continue at least until August 11. Authorities also noted a decline in the arrival of pilgrims. The suspension is a safety precaution.
The Indian Opinion
Some may call the suspension an overreaction, given the religious significance of the Amarnath Yatra. But with the India Meteorological Department predicting rain till August 11, the decision puts safety first. The real test will be whether the yatra resumes as soon as the downpour eases, or if delays pile up. The number of pilgrims already in transit will be the measure.
