The Amarnath yatra was suspended on Monday as a precautionary measure following a strike called by separatists in the Kashmir valley to mark the third death anniversary of former Hizbul Mujahideen commander Burhan Wani.


According to reports, till date, about 1,11,699 pilgrims have performed the ongoing Yatra. This year's 45-day long Hindu pilgrimage to the Amarnath Cave shrine started on 1 July and will end on 15 August, coinciding with the Shravan Purnima festival.

The arrangements put into place for pilgrims has been extremely exhaustive with special focus on security arrangements. While the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) and Jammu and Kashmir Police is primarily in-charge for security, personnel from the Indian Army and Border Security Force have also been deployed on the two routes.
