Amarnath yatra briefly suspended Jammu:
More than 15,000 pilgrims are stranded at the transit camp at Baltal as Amarnath
yatra has been suspended from Jammu on Wednesday. According to sources, no batch
was allowed to Baltal base camp from here today. The yatra was suspended, as there
is a heavy rush of stranded devotees at Baltal. Till now, nearly 70,000 pilgrims
have paid obeisance at the Amarnath cave shrine. The Jammu and Kashmir Government
and the Shri Amarnath Shrine Board (SASB) has set up three base camps at Bhagwati
Nagar in Jammu , Nunwan in Pahalgam and Baltal for providing food and lodging
facilities to pilgrims. Located in Jammu and Kashmir , the Amarnath caves shrine
is dedicated to Lord Shiva. Last year, over 450,000 pilgrims visited the cave.
The two month long pilgrimage will conclude on August 5.
