Banihal, Aug 05: The movement of Shri Amarnath Yatra convoys remained suspended on Wednesday as a precautionary security measure ahead of the seventh anniversary of the abrogation of Article 370.
Officials said that no Yatra convoy was allowed to move from Jammu towards the Baltal base camp, while no return convoy carrying pilgrims was permitted to depart from Baltal for Jammu during the day.
Despite the suspension of convoy movement, pilgrims who had already reached the Baltal base camp were allowed to proceed to the Holy Cave Shrine for darshan as per the scheduled movement.
The temporary suspension is part of enhanced security arrangements put in place ahead of August 5. Authorities said the Yatra is continuing in a regulated manner, with only the movement of fresh and return convoys being restricted as a preventive measure. (GK)
