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.

[ad_1] Payal Nag with her coaches, Kuldeep Vedwan and Abhilasha SIngh The world was left in awe when 17-year-old Sheetal Devi made history at the Paris Paralympics as the first woman without arms to compete in the competition. Sheetal, who often cites the USA’s Matt Stuttman as her inspiration for breaking barriers in the sport as the first arm-less archer, now has a successor. India is set to showcase another remarkable talent to the world. Meet Payal Nag, hailing from the remote Balangir district of Odisha. As a child, Payal tragically lost all four of her limbs in an electrocution accident. However, her determination to rise above her challenges led her to Maata Vaishno Devi Shrine Archery Academy, a renowned training centre run by coaches Kuldeep Vedwan and Abhilasha Singh, who also mentored Sheetal all the way to the podium in Paris. The district commissioner referred Payal to the academy 1.5 years ago, and she has been training relentlessly ever since. In a stunning display of skill and resilience at the 6th National Para Archery Championship in Jaipur, Payal made history by winning a gold medal. She is the only archer in the world who competes without any limbs. Kuldeep Vedwan with Sheetal Devi and Payal Nag She has developed an innovative technique to shoot — setting the arrow with her mouth, drawing her body back, and using a slight jerk of her shoulder to release it. In the championship, Payal not only earned gold, but also pushed her idol, Sheetal, to the silver-medal spot in the compound event, announcing her arrival as a force to be reckoned with in para archery. Under the expert guidance of coaches Vedwan and Abhilasha, Payal has the potential to become one of the most prominent figures in Indian para-archery, blazing a trail as the first athlete to compete without all four limbs. Her story is one of extraordinary perseverance, breaking barriers and redefining the limits of human potential. Payal’s inspiring journey could very well mark the beginning of a new era in para-sports, making India even more proud on the global stage.

How to Travel from Katra to Vaishno Devi?

The journey to the sacred shrine of Vaishno Devi is more than a physical expedition; it is a spiritual sojourn that millions undertake every year. Nestled amidst the Trikuta Mountains in Jammu and Kashmir, Vaishno Devi’s temple is a revered site for devotees from across the globe. The starting point for this pilgrimage is Katra, a small town serving as the base camp. Below, we delve into the comprehensive guide for traveling from Katra to Vaishno Devi.

Registration: The First Step of the Journey

Before embarking on the trek, every pilgrim must complete a mandatory registration process. This can be done at the Yatra Registration Counter in Katra or online through the official website of the Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine Board. The registration slip, or Parchi, is essential and must be carried throughout the journey. It not only ensures access to the pathway but also helps the shrine authorities monitor the number of pilgrims.

Route Options to Vaishno Devi

The primary route from Katra to the Bhawan, where the shrine is located, spans approximately 13 kilometers. This distance can be covered through various means:

1. On Foot

For many, walking the entire stretch is a traditional and fulfilling choice. The route is well-paved and interspersed with rest stops, eateries, and medical facilities. Pilgrims can choose between two main pathways:

Old Route: A direct yet steep ascent.

New Route: Slightly longer but less strenuous, making it suitable for elderly and physically challenged devotees.

2. Ponies and Palanquins

For those unable or unwilling to walk, ponies and palanquins offer an alternative. These services are readily available and regulated to ensure safety and fairness. Prices are standardized and depend on the distance and specific route chosen.

3. Electric Vehicles

Electric vehicles operate on a specific stretch of the new route, particularly between Ardhkuwari and Bhawan. This option is ideal for those seeking a quicker and more comfortable mode of travel.

4. Helicopter Services

Helicopter services provide the most time-efficient way to reach the shrine. Operated by authorized providers, flights run between Katra and Sanjichhat, a point located approximately 2.5 kilometers from Bhawan. From Sanjichhat, pilgrims can either walk or hire ponies for the remaining distance.

Essential Preparations for the Journey

Proper preparation can significantly enhance the pilgrimage experience:

Clothing: The weather in the Trikuta Mountains can be unpredictable. Carry layers of clothing, including rain gear, regardless of the season.

Footwear: Comfortable, non-slippery footwear is crucial for the trek.

Hydration and Nutrition: Although there are numerous eateries along the route, carrying a water bottle and light snacks is advisable.

First Aid: A small first aid kit with essentials like band-aids, antiseptic, and pain relief sprays can prove invaluable.

Spiritual and Scenic Highlights Along the Way

The journey from Katra to Vaishno Devi is as much about spiritual enrichment as it is about the breathtaking vistas:

Banganga: This sacred stream is believed to have originated from an arrow shot by the goddess. Many pilgrims halt here to take a holy dip.

Ardhkuwari Cave: Located midway, this cave is a revered site where the goddess is believed to have meditated for nine months.

Sanjichhat: The final stop before Bhawan, this point offers panoramic views of the surrounding mountains.

Reaching the Bhawan and Darshan Protocols

Upon reaching the Bhawan, pilgrims deposit their belongings in cloakrooms and freshen up at designated facilities. Entry to the sanctum is regulated to ensure smooth and orderly darshan. Devotees can also perform special pujas or partake in the prasad distribution at the temple premises.

Post-Darshan Considerations

The return journey to Katra is typically quicker, as it involves a descent. Pilgrims can retrace their steps or opt for ponies, electric vehicles, or helicopter services, if available. Many also choose to visit nearby attractions, such as Bhairon Mandir, believed to complete the pilgrimage.

Conclusion

The Journey Jive Katra to Vaishno Devi is an amalgamation of faith, perseverance, and awe-inspiring natural beauty. Whether undertaken on foot or through modern conveniences, the pilgrimage holds a profound significance that transcends physical exertion. With the right preparation and a determined spirit, the experience becomes a cherished memory etched in the hearts of the devotees forever.
