500 Stranded Mani-Mahesh Yatra Pilgrims Allowed to Proceed

About 500 Mani-Mahesh Yatra pilgrims, stranded at #Bhaderwah since yesterday due to adverse weather and landslides, were permitted to continue on the Bhaderwah-Chamba interstate road today. The pilgrims traveled in 72 vehicles from the Thanhala Police checkpoint.

Additional Deputy Commissioner Bhaderwah, Sunil Kumar Bhutyal, confirmed that only stranded vehicles were allowed to proceed to Chamba after clearing the backlog. However, the Mani-Mahesh Yatra remains suspended due to hostile weather conditions.
