The Vaishno Devi pilgrimage route has been disrupted once again due to heavy rains and landslides, marking the third time this year that the newer Himkoti track has had to be shut. According to officials, continuous downpours triggered a major landslide on the Himkoti route, leaving nearly 30 feet of debris and large boulders blocking the path. As a result, battery car, cable car, and helicopter services along the route have been temporarily suspended for safety reasons.
