Article 370 abrogation: Amarnath Yatra suspended for a day from Jammu

Jammu: No fresh batch of Amarnath Yatra pilgrims was allowed to leave the Bhagwati Nagar base camp here for Kashmir as a precautionary measure in view of the fifth anniversary of the abrogation of Article 370 on Monday, officials said.

More than 4.90 lakh



pilgrims have paid obeisance at the 3,880-metre-high cave shrine so far this year.

"The yatra has been halted for the day as a precautionary measure. No fresh batch was allowed from Jammu to Kashmir today," an officer told.
