Amarnath yatra was again suspended from Jammu due to heavy rain along the route leading to the cave shrine in south Kashmir Himalayas today. A fresh batch of pilgrims was not allowed to proceed from the base camp of Bhagwati Nagar for onward journey due to overnight rain along the routes between Baltal and Nunwan camps in Pahalgam to the shrine.The Police said the tense situation in Kashmir also led authorities to stop another batch from proceeding. This is for the fifth time that the Amarnath yatra has been suspended from here since it commenced on June 30.
