Notes

  • Amarnath Yatra suspended from Jammu base camp due to inclement weather and heavy rain forecasts.
  • Movement of pilgrims is contingent upon weather conditions and the status of the Jammu-Srinagar national highway.
  • The Jammu-Srinagar national highway serves as the primary all-weather link between the Kashmir Valley and the rest of India.
  • Over 4.75 lakh pilgrims have completed the pilgrimage since its commencement on July 3.
