Srinagar/New Delhi:
In view of the critical flood situation in Jammu and Kashmir, as a precautionary measure, all schools in the Kashmir division will remain closed today, Srinagar Deputy Commissioner told news agency ANI. Amarnath Yatra had also been suspended from the Pahalgam route due to multiple landslides triggered by heavy rains and bad weather. This comes a day after the yatra was also suspended from the Baltal route because of the challenging Jammu and Kashmir weather. As the weather conditions have got better, the yatra has resumed from both locations. A flood alert has also been sounded after the Jhelum River flowed above the critical 21-feet mark at Sangam in south Kashmir's Anantnag district on Friday.
