The government has announced that all yatras scheduled for the Amarnath and Vaishno Devi pilgrimages are suspended for a second day following continuous heavy rainfall in the region.\n\nTransport authorities cited unsafe road conditions and the risk of landslides as the primary reasons for the halt. Travelers who had already boarded the buses are being advised to return to their respective towns or seek alternative arrangements.\n\nThe decision comes after the previous day’s suspension, which saw thousands of devotees stranded at various checkpoints. Officials are monitoring weather updates closely and will resume services once the weather improves and road safety is assured.
