To ensure smooth passage of cavalcades of Amarnath yatra and traffic-free highway at night, the police have stopped over 1,000 pilgrims at entry point to Jammu and Kashmir's Kathua district.
"We have put on halt over 1,000 Amarnath pilgrims along with vehicles at Kakanpur in Kathua district in order to ensure their smooth passage and traffic-free highway at night hours," they said.
