Curated summary

Heavy rain and repair work have forced the Amarnath yatra to stop on both routes from Sunday, officials said. The suspension covers the Chandanwari track in Anantnag and Baltal in Ganderbal. The 57-day pilgrimage is unlikely to restart this year because more rain is forecast by the IMD, though the Chadi Mubarak ceremony will still go ahead via the Pahalgam route and end the yatra on August 28.
