In Jammu and Kashmir, the sacred shrine of Shri Mata Vaishno Devi, located on the Trikuta Hills in the Reasi district, is experiencing a large influx of devotees as the ongoing Chaitra Navratri festival continues to draw pilgrims from across the country. An Akashvani Jammu correspondent reports that the Trikuta Hills continue to echo with the chants of "Jai Mata Di" as the pilgrimage remains in full swing. Over 2.4 lakh devotees have already paid their respects during the initial days of Navratri, and the flow of pilgrims along the route from Katra to the Bhawan remains steady. Earlier, authorities had to manage the registration process due to the unprecedented rush; however, the pilgrimage is currently proceeding smoothly under strict crowd management and security arrangements. Adequate deployment of security personnel, medical teams, and support staff has been ensured to facilitate a safe and smooth pilgrimage. Officials have advised devotees to undertake the journey only after proper registration and to strictly adhere to all guidelines issued by the administration. With Navratri being a significant period for pilgrimage, the number of pilgrims is expected to increase further in the coming days.
