10 Vaishno Devi pilgrims die, 57 injured as bus falls from bridge in Jammu; most were from Bihar

Jammu, May 30

Ten Mata Vaishno Devi pilgrims, most of them from Bihar, were killed and 57 others were injured on Tuesday as their bus fell into a gorge after ramming into the railing of a bridge here on the Jammu-Srinagar National Highway, officials said.

The death toll may go up as Government Medical College Hospital Principal Shashi Soodan said two of the injured admitted there are critical.

Officials said the bus, which was on its way from Amritsar to Katra, met with the accident in Jhajjar Kotli area. Katra is a base camp for the pilgrims visiting the famous shrine atop the Trikuta hills.

"The accident took place at Jhajjar Kotli bridge. Ten people have died. Rescue operation is almost compete," Jammu Senior Superintendent of Police Chandan Kohli told PTI. "We are investigating the reasons behind the accident." 

Locals, CRPF and police personnel rushed to the spot and launched the rescue operation.

The fifty-seven injured have been admitted to the GMC hospital in Jammu and two of them are critical. "Two persons were brought dead in the hospital while others died on the spot," said Soodan.

A CRPF officer said 10 bodies had been recovered.

The bus skidded off the Jammu-Srinagar National Highway and rolled down the bridge over a nullah at Jajjar Kotli between 6.30 am and 7 am, the officials said.

They said most of the travellers were from Bihar's Lakhisarai and were on pilgrimage to Mata Vaishno Devi for a religious function of their child. They were members of an extended family.

Ravinder Panday, one of the travellers, said they felt that something hit the bus. "It lost balance and rolled down. The vehicle was on its way from Amritsar to Katra carrying people who were going for pilgrimage to the cave shrine of Mata Vaishno Devi," he said.

The accident site looked horrific with bodies trapped under the mangled remains of the bus.

Describing the accident, a witnesses said the bus was in the left lane, but it crossed over to the right side after the driver lost control, hit the railing of the bridge and went down.

The front wheels came off and got stuck in the parapet of the bridge.

"We were going to pay obeisance at Mata Vaishno Devi temple and perform ‘mundan’ of our child. We were several families together," said Ramesh Kumar, who escaped unhurt.

For the journey to Katra, the vehicle, carrying a registration number of Uttar Pradesh (UP 81 CT 3537), should have taken a left turn nearly two kilometres before the spot of the accident, but passengers said the driver seemed to have lost the direction and was probably going to the Udhampur-Srinagar side of the highway.

On May 21, a 27-year-old woman was killed and 24 people were injured when a Rajasthan-bound bus carrying Mata Vaishno Devi pilgrims overturned in Jammu and Kashmir's Reasi district.

Sarveshwar Foods Limited Announces Strong Q1 FY25 Financial Results and Strategic Developments

Sarveshwar Foods Limited, a prominent player in the rice industry with a legacy spanning over 130 years, has unveiled its financial results for the first quarter of FY25. This period, ending June 30, 2024, marked a promising start to the new fiscal year for the company. The results reflect Sarveshwar Foods' strategic initiatives and resilience in navigating the complexities of the market.

For Q1 FY25, Sarveshwar Foods reported significant growth in its financial performance. The company's revenue from operations reached an impressive Rs. 233.05 crore, compared to Rs. 187.68 crore in the same period last year, representing a year-on-year growth of 24%. This notable increase is attributed to the continued expansion of the company's customer base and supply volume, bolstered by its participation in the Bharat Rice Scheme initiated by the Government of India. The scheme has enabled Sarveshwar Foods to enhance its market presence and secure substantial export orders, further strengthening its position in the international market.

The company’s EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization) also saw a commendable rise, amounting to Rs. 13.31 crore for the quarter, up from Rs. 11.10 crore in the previous year. This represents a growth of 20%, showcasing the company's effective cost management and operational efficiency. The EBITDA margin for Q1 FY25 stood at 5.71%, slightly down from 5.91% in the previous year, reflecting a minimal impact from rising operational costs.

Sarveshwar Foods' profit after tax (PAT) for the quarter was Rs. 3.09 crore, marking a 6% increase from Rs. 2.90 crore in Q1 FY24. This growth in PAT highlights the company’s ability to maintain profitability amidst fluctuating market conditions and increasing operational demands. The PAT margin for the quarter was 1.33%, down from 1.55% a year ago, attributed to the increased cost pressures.

In addition to its financial achievements, Sarveshwar Foods has made significant strides in strategic development. The company has entered into a landmark strategic partnership to enhance sustainable agricultural practices. This agreement aims to improve productivity, soil health, and generate income through the sale of carbon credits. This initiative will benefit approximately 17,000 farmers and cover 45,000 acres, reflecting Sarveshwar Foods' commitment to sustainable farming and environmental stewardship.

The company has also secured a notable contract with the Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine Board in Jammu and Kashmir. Under this contract, Sarveshwar Foods will supply premium steamed basmati rice to the renowned pilgrimage destination, further establishing its brand in high-profile markets.

Empowering local farmers has been another key focus for Sarveshwar Foods. The company launched a free certified Sona Masuri Paddy seeds distribution initiative in Jammu and Kashmir. These seeds, known for their superior quality and high yield potential, aim to support farmers and enhance the regional agricultural sector.

Additionally, Sarveshwar Foods has expanded its business by acquiring 100% of Green Point Pte. Ltd., a company engaged in the wholesale distribution of a wide range of grocery products. This acquisition is expected to boost Sarveshwar Foods' business and enhance its international presence.

Commenting on the results, Mr. Rohit Gupta, Chairman of Sarveshwar Foods Limited, expressed satisfaction with the company’s performance. He highlighted the strong year-on-year growth in revenue and the successful execution of strategic initiatives. Gupta emphasized the company’s commitment to automation and efficiency improvements, which are expected to drive sustained performance in the future. He also noted Sarveshwar Foods' active engagement in promoting organic food products in European and North American markets, aligning with global trends towards sustainability and eco-friendly products.

Looking ahead, Sarveshwar Foods remains focused on maximizing shareholder value and adapting to market dynamics. The company's commitment to operational efficiency, customer satisfaction, and sustainable growth will continue to drive its success in the upcoming quarters.

Vaishno Devi Mandir

About Mata Vaishno Devi Mandir in Katra, Jammu 

I visited Mata Vaishno Devi twice. This blog is about my firsthand experiences at the ancient Hindu shrine. Mata Vaishno Devi, the compassionate Mother Goddess, is claimed to grant all of a devotee's desires and wishes. Mata Vaishno Devi is also known as Mata Rani, Vaishnavi, Ambe, or Trikuta.

How was Mata Vaishno Devi formed?

According to Sanatan Dharm aka Hinduism, the powers of the Hindu Goddesses Maa Saraswati, Lakshmi ji, and Maa Kali have combined to become Mata Vaishno Devi during the Treta Yuga, the second Yuga.

Bhudevi, also known as Vasundhara or Bhumi, is the earth goddess. Bhudevi is also known as Sita ji's mother, as she was born on Earth in the Hindu epic Ramayana. Bhumidevi, the consort of Varaha, Bhagwan Vishnu's boar-like third avatar, is also called Varahi.

When Goddess Bhumi was afflicted by demonic spirits that had taken over the Earth, she sought help from the male trinity of Brahma, Vishnu, and Mahesh, but was unsuccessful. When the male trinity appeared weak, their consorts, the female trinity of Saraswati ji, Lakshmi ji, and Parvati ji (Maa Kali), stepped in to help.

The feminine trinity of Hindu goddesses combined their most potent characteristics and powers to create the new Goddess Mata Vaishno Devi. She waged war after war until she achieved victory. The trinity was so impressed by Vaishno Mata's powers that they offered her to remain on Earth and defend it permanently.

Why is Mata Vaishno Devi famous?

Mata Vaishno Devi is well-known for representing crores of people's faith. Throughout the year, crores of devotees visit Mata Vaishno Devi without the use of modern marketing techniques or advertisements. It is one of the most well-known Hindu temples in the world.

The Ramayana Connection of Vaishno Devi

Aside from the aforementioned Bhumi Devi connection between Vaishno Devi and Ramayan, she also has an intriguing story about Shri Ram, Vishnu ji's seventh and gentlest avatar. Much later, Mata Vaishno Devi reincarnated on Earth as the daughter of a Brahmin couple. She had always been a dedicated bhakt, or devotee, of Vishnu Bhagwan. She wanted to marry him when she grew up.

Mata Vaishno Devi would meditate in a cave for hours in order to grant her wish and impress Vishnu ji. Her tapasya paid off when Vishnu ji, as Shri Ram, appeared in front of her. Sri Ram asserted that he was unable to marry Mata Vaishno Devi because he was already married and was searching for his wife Mata Sita, whom the demon King or Asura Ravan had kidnapped and carried to Sri Lanka.  

When Ram ji saw her distress, he promised her that if she could recognise him, he would return to her and marry her one day. True to his word, Shri Ram, popularly known as Lord Rama in the West, returned to Mata Vaishno Devi as an elderly man. She did not recognise him, therefore they could not marry in Treta Yug. 

The Mahabharata Connection of Vaishno Devi

It is stated that before the great Mahabharat war at Kurukshetra began, Arjun prayed to Devi for blessings, as instructed by Shri Krishna, the 8th avatar of Vishnu Bhagwan. Devi was gratified by his devotion and revealed herself as Mata Vaishno Devi. Arjun recites the strotam 'Jambookatak Chityaishu Nityam Sannihitalaye'.

Before the ancient Kurukshetra battle began, Shri Krishna directed Arjun to visit Jammu and seek Maa's favor. In fact, it is widely accepted that the Pandavas built the first temples after Mahabharat at Bhawan and Kol Kandoli. The five stone structures on a mountain near Trikuta Hills represent the Pandeva's brothers.

How to reach Vaishno Devi?

Rail : Mata Vaishno Devi Mandir, a major Hindu sacred site, situated around 13 km from Katra Railway Station and Katra Town.

Air : The nearest airport to Katra is Jammu Airport, which is about 50 miles away.

Bus : Buses to Katra are easily bookable from Jammu. Easily you can book Buses with and without air conditioning are available.

Road Trip : You can travel from Jammu, Phagwara, or New Delhi via a smooth road, like we did. We traveled from Ghaziabad to Phagwara, where we spent two days before traveling to Mata Vaishno Devi. It was an enjoyable and safe road trip. However, be mindful that monkeys may be present on certain roads. 

Which famous people visited Vaishno Devi?

Swami Vivekanand, Sikh Guru, Guru Gobind Singh Ji and Mahant Shri Paras Bhai ji have visited Vaishno Devi.

Akshay Kumar, a well-known Bollywood actor, too has a fascinating Vaishno Devi story from his childhood.Other renowned celebrities who visit Mata Vaishno Devi include actors Ayushman Khurana, Priyanka Chopra, and Rajkumar Rao, as well as Patralekhaa herself.
