JAMMU: (Jul 17) The Amarnath Yatra was suspended on Thursday due to heavy rain in the valley for the last 36 hours, officials said. A weather advisory warned of more heavy rain in parts of Jammu and Kashmir.
This comes a day after a woman pilgrim died and three sustained injuries in a landslide along the Baltal route of the yatra in Ganderbal district.
“Shri Amarnathji Yatra has been suspended for 17.07.2025 from both Pahalgam and Baltal base camps. Continuous heavy rains over the last two days have necessitated restoration work to be carried out on tracks along both routes,” Kashmir Divisional Commissioner Vijay Kumar Bhiduri said. PTI
