Event Summary

The Vaishno Devi Yatra, a pilgrimage to the cave shrine of Mata Vaishno Devi in the Reasi district of India — Jammu and Kashmir, resumed on September 17, 2025, after being suspended for 19 days. The suspension was due to a devastating landslide on August 26, which claimed 34 lives and injured 20 others. The Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine Board, which manages the pilgrimage, initially announced the resumption for September 14 but postponed it to September 17 due to continued inclement weather. The Board emphasized pilgrim safety and completed restoration work on the damaged track and commercial structures in Katra. Manoj Sinha, the Lieutenant Governor of India — Jammu and Kashmir and chairman of the Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine Board, confirmed that the yatra was stopped before the cloudburst hit the track.
