Fewer Yatris, Amarnath Yatra To Be Cut Short by A Week

Amarnath yatra will be suspended from next Wednesday, a week before the annual pilgrimage was meant to be concluded. The decision was taken due to fewer arrivals of yatris, an official spokesman said. The shrine board is headed by Jammu and Kashmir Lt Governor Manoj Sinha. Over 4 lakh yatris have visited the holy cave this year. The officials, though, were expecting higher numbers given logistics and security arrangements made for the pilgrimage. Over the last several years, Amarnath yatra has been witnessing fewer footfalls. Compared to over 6 lakh pilgrims who visited cave shrine in 2012, the number has come down to over 3 lakh in 2022 and 4.4 lakh this year.
