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.
