The yatra to Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Cave Shrine resumed today after a three-day suspension due to inclement weather conditions.
Officials stated that the yatra, which had been halted following a weather advisory from the IMD, resumed on Wednesday morning.
The Shrine Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine Board also posted on X, “As already communicated, all Yatra registration counters shall remain operational on October 8, 2025, from 6:00 AM onwards.”
“Devotees are advised to stay updated through official communication channels for further information,” it further posted.
Notably, in view of the inclement weather advisory issued by the Indian Meteorological Department from October 5 to 7, the Vaishno Devi Yatra remained suspended for three days.
Meanwhile, the chopper service is also operating smoothly as weather improves, they said.
Earlier, hustle-bustle returned to Katra town in the Reasi district after the suspended pilgrimage to Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Cave Shrine resumed on September 17.
The yatra was suspended on August 26 due to heavy rain.
As many as 34 people, mostly pilgrims, were killed and several injured after a landslide was triggered on August 26 due to heavy rains near the Inderprastha Bhojnalaya at Adhkuwari.
Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha, who is also the chairman of the Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine Board, had constituted a high-level three-member committee to probe the causes of the landslide.
