Amarnath Yatra Has Been Suspended!
One of Jammu’s biggest tourist attractions, Amarnath Yatra, is at a halt now. The holy yatra has been suspended on 8 July because of the bad weather conditions. Jammu & Kashmir is experiencing heavy rainfall in different areas and this is the primary reason behind the suspension of the Amarnath Yatra. Sunday marks the third consecutive day for this temporary halt.
