Srinagar, July 6 (ANI): Heavy rains on both routes to the Amarnath shrine today lead to the suspension of Amarnath Pilgrimage.
Rains made the 46-km route from Pahalgam to the cave and the shortest 12-km route from Baltal slippery which made it difficult for the pilgrims to proceed, Shri Amarnathji Shrine Board (SASB) source said.
