Srinagar, July 30,NSR:

The Amarnath Yatra has been suspended for today, July 30, 2025, from both Pahalgam and Baltal base camps due to heavy continuous rainfall. The decision was made as a precautionary measure to ensure the safety of the pilgrims.

According to a statement issued by the Divisional Commissioner Kashmir, Vijay Kumar Bidhuri, the yatra hasn’t been released on the tracks from both base camps, Baltal and Nunwan/Chandanwari, because of the adverse weather conditions.
