The Amarnath Yatra has been suspended weeks before the annual pilgrimage was scheduled to conclude in Kashmir, officials said on [date not specified]. The decision was made due to a sharp decline in pilgrim arrivals and an adverse weather advisory.
Officials said the pilgrimage was halted from Jammu, one of the main starting points. The administration is monitoring the situation and will review the movement of pilgrims based on weather conditions and the state of the Jammu-Srinagar national highway.
The suspension comes as the yatra was nearing its scheduled conclusion. No further details about the weather advisory or when the pilgrimage might resume were provided.
