Vaishnodevi yatra slips to be issued online

By Our Staff Reporter

JAMMU, JUNE 15. Yatra slips are going to be issued online , to prevent a heavy rush near the Vaishno Devi shrine. The move follows the unprecedented rush at the shrine nestling in the Trikuta hills, which even led to a suspension of the yatra for a few hours recently.

According to the new plan, the slips would be issued online on payment of Rs. 50 through credit cards. The facility is also available at post offices with Internet connection. The amount would be refunded to the pilgrims after darshan. This year, already more than 25 lakh pilgrims have visited the shrine.
