The pilgrimage to Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine continue to remain suspended due to persistent adverse weather conditions and incidents of landslides along the pilgrimage route.
As many as 34 people, mostly pilgrims, were killed and several were injured after a landslide was triggered on August 26 due to heavy rains near the Inderprastha Bhojnalaya at Adhkuwari.
