- 5 years ago
JAMMU: The J&K government has suspended the Amarnath Yatra until further notice owing to Friday's communal clashes in Kishtwar. The violence-hit district was curfew-bound on Saturday with the administration announcing that the death toll had risen to two.
"No fresh batch of pilgrims has been allowed to proceed to the Amarnath cave shrine in south Kashmir Himalayas from Jammu on Saturday," the police said. Apart from the deaths, more than 25 people were injured in the clashes. The curfew would remain until the tension subsided though there was no report of any more untoward incident. Normal life was hit in Jammu and adjoining districts due to a BJP-backed bandh on Saturday.
