The Kashmir valley has been on the edge after the Amarnath Yatra was reportedly cancelled. A government advisory ended the pilgrimage almost a fortnight ahead of its schedule was issued after a huge cache of ammunition was recovered on the route of the yatra, heightening the possibility of a terror attack in the state. Apart from the cache of ammunitions containing a Pakistan-made anti-personnel mine, an IED and a US-made sniper rifle, intelligence reports also sparked the chances of a suicide attack in Kashmir, reports said.

The cancellation of the pilgrimage has sparked an atmosphere of panic and uncertainty among the yatris with many of them frantically searching for air tickets. The aviation regulator DGCA has directed airlines to schedule additional flights from Srinagar, "if the need arises", sources told PTI.
