JAMU, January 1: Vaishno Devi Yatra has resumed once again on Saturday after a brief suspension following a stampede incident at the Mata Vaishno Devi Bhawan in Katra which has claimed 12 lives while leaving many others injured.
“A total of 12 people were killed and 13 others injured in a stampede at the shrine atop Trikuta hills early this morning. The stampede was triggered by a heavy rush of devotees on New Year’s Day. The yatra (pilgrimage) to the holy shrine has been suspended after the incident,” said Dilbagh Singh, chief of Jammu and Kashmir Police earlier this morning. (AGENCIES)
