Katra, Oct 8: After the three-day suspension of the Vaishno Devi Yatra due to adverse weather conditions, the pilgrimage has resumed today.
It was halted as a precautionary measure due to heavy rainfall, thunderstorms, and the potential for landslides in the Trikuta Hills region.
As weather conditions improve, the authorities have reopened the routes for devotees, ensuring all safety measures are in place and the tracks are cleared. The Shrine Board officials said that the Yatra has resumed smoothly and pilgrims are being allowed to proceed towards the Bhawan.
Devotees have expressed relief and gratitude as they once again begin their spiritual journey to seek the blessings of Mata Vaishno Devi. Authorities continue to urge pilgrims to stay updated through official channels and follow safety advisories during their visit.
The Vaishno Devi Yatra was suspended on October 5. The Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine Board (SMVDSB) announced that the suspension was a result of an adverse weather forecast issued by the India Meteorological Department (IMD).
“In view of the inclement weather advisory issued by IMD, Vaishno Devi Yatra shall remain suspended from 5th to 7th October 2025 and will resume on October 8 ” the Shrine Board said in an official statement.
