No fresh batch of pilgrims was allowed to proceed towards Kashmir from the base camp in Jammu, official sources said.
An official spokesman last night said the decision to suspend the yatra was taken as a precautionary measure.
"Due to the prevailing situation, and the restrictions imposed in the parts of the state, the Amarnath yatra shall remain suspended," the spokesman said.
Over 2.50 lakh pilgrims have participated in this year's yatra to perform the darshan of the naturally-formed ice lingam at Amarnath cave in south Kashmir Himalayas.
