Jammu: The annual Amarnath Yatra was suspended for three days on as the authorities decided not to allow any pilgrim to move from Jammu to the Kashmir Valley from August 21 to 23.

“No yatri will be allowed to move towards the Kashmir Valley from Jammu on August 21, 22 and 23,” a police officer said.

Officials gave no explanation for the yatra’s suspension, but reports quoting informed sources said the decision was taken because of the Eid festival on Wednesday, and also due to the decreasing number of pilgrims opting for the yatra as it nears its end on August 26.
