"Keeping in view the latest intelligence inputs of terror threats, with specific targeting of the Amarnath Yatra, and given the prevailing security situation in the Kashmir Valley, in the interest of safety and security of the tourists and Amarnath Yatris, it is advised that they may curtail their stay in the Valley immediately and take necessary measures to return as soon as possible," it said.

In reality there is no threat for tourists and Amarnath Yatris in Kashmir.  Govt itself is creatign threat to terrorist kashmiri people and oppress them.   Govt is acting on false inputs from sanghis and taking unnecessary action thereby making life of common man in kashmir very difficult.
