Jammu, August 14:
Shri Amarnath Yatra was postponed for the second day on Tuesday. No pilgrim was sent to the holy cave from the Baltal route. It is said that the Baltal route has been damaged due to rain last Sunday. Unofficially, the yatra has already been stopped from the Pahalgam route. The yatra may also be postponed on 14 and 15 August due to security reasons. So far, 5.10 lakh devotees have visited Baba Barfani.
The batch of devotees is not being sent before the base camp Bhagwati Nagar Jammu. All the devotees are reaching the Baltal base camp directly. According to sources, the devotees who reached there for the Baltal route are not being sent further to the holy cave. At the same time, Chhari Mubarak Swami Amarnath Ji under the leadership of Mahant Dipendra Giri will leave for the main route to the holy Amarnath temple from Mahadev Giri Dashnami Akhara Trust Bhawan at 10 am on Wednesday.
Shri Amarnath Barfani Langar Sangathan (Sablo) has written a letter to Shri Amarnath Shrine Board asking for clarification on the suspension of the Yatra.
