Amarnath Yatra Suspended Due to Heavy Rainfall
The Amarnath Yatra, a big journey that many people take to a holy place, has been stopped for now.
This is because there is a lot of rain and storms expected in the area.
The leaders in Jammu and Kashmir made this decision to keep everyone safe.
One person who came from far away to go on this journey said she is very sad because she can't go right now.
The rain is so heavy that they might have to wait five days or even more before they can start the journey again.
The Yatra usually goes from July 3 to August 28, and this stop is just a precaution to make sure everyone stays safe.
Amarnath Yatra suspended on both Pahalgam and Baltal routes due to heavy rainfall forecast.
Decision made by Jammu and Kashmir administration for the safety of pilgrims.
Yatra began on July 3 and is scheduled to conclude on August 28.
Devotees like Rekha from Jamnagar, Gujarat, express disappointment over the suspension.
Potential resumption of Yatra after five days if weather conditions improve.
