The rally has been cancelled based on the request of the authorities in view of infiltration of militants and their attacks on outskirts of the city in which some people were killed," Shri Amarnath Yatra Sangharsh Samiti leader Naresh Padha said in Jammu.

The samiti had planned to hold a public rally at Parade Grounds in Jammu on Wednesday.

Three people, including an army officer, were killed and at least five others injured in Jammu on Wednesday by militants who had infiltrated into the Indian territory from across the border under the cover of firing from the Pakistani side.
