The Amarnath Yatra from Jammu was suspended on Saturday owing to frequent disruptions caused by heavy rain since the beginning of the annual pilgrimage, while the over 2,000 pilgrims who were stranded in Udhampur, left for the Pahalgam base camp in the morning, a police officer said. “The yatra from the Bhagwati Nagar base camp has been suspended. No pilgrim was allowed from here but the stranded convoy, carrying 2,032 pilgrims, including 315 women, left for the Pahalgam base camp in south Kashmir in the morning,” he said. A majority of the pilgrims in the third batch who left the Bhagwati Nagar base camp on Friday were stranded in Udhampur district due to frequent disruption in the flow of traffic on the Jammu-Srinagar national highway.
