Amarnath Yatra touches 2L, over 15,000 have ‘darshan’ in one day
Those using the Baltal route have to trek 14 kms to reach the cave shrine. They return to the base camp the same day after having Darshan.
Authorities announced on Wednesday that due to inclement weather along both the routes, Amarnath Yatra will remain suspended for the day.
Due to inclement weather along both Baltal and Pahalgam routes, no movement of pilgrims will be allowed from either side towards the cave shrine today, officials said, adding that the pilgrims will not move towards the Valley from Jammu.
The situation will be reviewed later, they added.
