In the interest of safety of the yatris, no Yatra will be allowed on 3rd August from the Baltal route also,\u201d Kashmir Divisional Commissioner Vijay Kumar Bidhuri said.<br \/>\nHe said further updates will be issued in the due course of time.<br \/>\nBhiduri said there have been recent heavy rains in yatra area on both Pahalgam and Baltal axis, and so, maintenance works of urgent nature are required to be carried out on the Baltal Axis following this heavy rainfall.<br \/>\nTorrential rains in Kashmir had rendered the roads unsafe, following which the pilgrimage was suspended on both the Baltal and Pahalgam routes on Wednesday.<br \/>\nThe requisite repair and maintenance works are already being carried out on Pahalgam route of the Yatra, the divisional commissioner added.<br \/>\nOn July 17, the yatra was suspended due to heavy rains at the twin base camps in Kashmir.<br \/>\nSo far this year, more than 4.05 lakh yatris have paid obeisance at the Holy Cave shrine, he said.<br \/>\nA total of 1,44,124 pilgrims have departed from the Jammu base camp for the Valley since July 2, when Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha flagged off the first batch.<br \/>\nLast year, over 5.10 lakh pilgrims paid obeisance at the cave shrine, which houses a naturally formed ice lingam.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_31409\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-31409\" style=\"width: 300px\"
