The ongoing Manimahesh Yatra has been temporarily suspended due to deteriorating weather conditions in the region, causing difficulties for pilgrims undertaking the sacred journey.
Authorities took the decision after continuous rainfall and snowfall were reported in high-altitude areas, including Dal Lake Manimahesh, Gaurikund, Sundrasi, and surrounding locations. The adverse weather has increased the risk of slippery trails and other safety hazards along the pilgrimage route.
Keeping the safety of devotees in mind, the administration has halted further movement on the yatra route until conditions improve. Pilgrims have been urged to remain at safe locations and avoid proceeding towards higher altitudes during the ongoing spell of bad weather.
Officials said that a decision on resuming the pilgrimage will be taken only after a review of the weather situation. Devotees have been advised to wait for official updates from the administration and not continue the journey without permission or instructions from authorities.
