The annual pilgrimage to the Vaishno Devi shrine in Jammu and Kashmir is set to resume on September 14 after a brief suspension due to adverse weather conditions and safety concerns. Authorities confirmed that preparations have been completed to ensure a smooth and safe journey for devotees.
The Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine Board has announced additional safety measures, including enhanced crowd management, medical facilities, and disaster response teams along the route. Officials also carried out checks on the trekking paths and infrastructure to address concerns raised during the suspension.
The pilgrimage to the cave shrine, located in the Trikuta Hills near Katra, attracts millions of devotees each year. With the resumption, thousands are expected to arrive in the region in the coming days, giving a boost to local businesses and tourism.
Authorities have urged pilgrims to follow safety guidelines and cooperate with security personnel to ensure a safe and peaceful pilgrimage experience. The resumption is being seen as a positive step for both religious sentiments and the local economy.
