In Jammu and Kashmir, in a goodwill gesture for the devotees awaiting the resumption of the Shri Mata Vaishno Devi pilgrimage, the Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine Board has started the distribution of ‘prasad’ at the entry point in Katra.
Akashvani Correspondent reports that the move has been warmly welcomed by pilgrims and locals, who expressed gratitude to the Shrine Board for keeping their faith and sentiments in mind during this prolonged suspension of the yatra.
Meanwhile, the Vaishno Devi yatra remained suspended for the 20th consecutive day today due to adverse weather conditions and repeated landslides along the track leading to the holy shrine.
Devotees, though disappointed by the continued suspension, remain hopeful for an early restoration of the pilgrimage.
