March 22, New Delhi: Registration for the Mata Vaishno Devi Yatra resumed early Sunday morning after being suspended the previous evening due to a massive influx of devotees at Katra.
Despite the temporary suspension, the pilgrimage continued smoothly. The high number of visitors is attributed to the ongoing Navratri festivities, which have drawn large numbers of devotees to the holy shrine.
Officials reported that nearly one lakh devotees have paid their respects at the sacred cave shrine since the start of Navratri. Authorities have ensured crowd management and necessary arrangements to facilitate a safe and orderly pilgrimage for all pilgrims.
