The Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Yatra, which was suspended for the last 17 days, is now going to start again. After being temporarily suspended due to bad weather and necessary maintenance of the route leading to the holy shrine, the Shrine Board has announced to start the Yatra before Navratri. The journey to Shri Mata Vaishno Devi will start once again from Sunday, September 14.

 

According to the Shrine Board, pilgrims have been advised to carry valid identity cards during the journey. Along with this, follow the prescribed routes and cooperate with the ground staff.

 

It will also be mandatory to wear RFID-based tracking cards during the journey. For live updates, booking services, and helpline assistance, devotees can visit the official website of the Shrine Board "www.maavaishnodevi.org".

 

Along with this, the Shrine Board has also thanked all the devotees for their patience and understanding during the temporary suspension.

 

The pilgrimage was suspended for 17 days.

The pilgrimage to the Mata Vaishno Devi temple in the Reasi district of Jammu and Kashmir was suspended for sixteen days. Now the journey is being started once again from September 14.

 

Let us tell you that on August 26, 34 pilgrims were killed and 20 others were injured in a landslide caused by a cloudburst at Adhkuwari in the Trikuta hills of the Katra area. The journey was suspended on the same day till further orders.

 

It was expected that the announcement of the resumption of the pilgrimage would be made on Saturday or Sunday, as most of the repair work on the route leading to the cave temple has been completed. However, even before this, the Shrine Board gave an update regarding the journey.
