Katra, Sept. 7 -- The Vaishno Devi Yatra continues to remain suspended for the 13th consecutive day, due to adverse weather and safety concerns.

Heavy rainfall over the past several days has triggered landslides and road blockages in the Trikuta Hills, making the pilgrimage route unsafe for devotees. Authorities have said that the Vaishno Devi Yatra will resume only after the situation improves and the track is declared safe for devotees.

A devotee from Kerala, who was waiting for the gates to open, said, "I am very sad that I did not get to go to the temple. I have been waiting for the last 2 days. The people here are saying that the gates will open after 15 days. But I am hopeful, and I will go home only after completing my yatra."
