Crowd of devotees gathered at Mata Vaishno Devi on New Year, Shrine Board banned registration, know the reason
On the occasion of New Year, everyone goes somewhere. In such a situation, unprecedented crowd of devotees is being seen in major religious places across the country. In this series, the number of devotees in Mata Vaishno Devi Dham located in Jammu and Kashmir has increased more than expected. The situation has become such that the travel routes are crowded at many places and there is no scope left to even set foot at many places. Due to the ever-increasing crowd, not only are the devotees facing difficulties, but security and smooth functioning of the arrangements has also become a challenge for the administration.

Ban on registration
In view of these circumstances, Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine Board has taken an important decision. The board has temporarily stopped new registrations for Mata Vaishno Devi Yatra with the aim of controlling the huge crowd and ensuring the safety of the pilgrims. This ban will remain in effect till the morning of January 1. Registration of new devotees will not be done during this period, so that the already registered and on-going devotees can be given darshan without any disturbance. Due to the New Year, the same situation is being seen not only at Vaishno Devi but also at almost all the major religious and tourist places of the country. There is a huge crowd of tourists at popular tourist places like Srinagar, Gulmarg and Sonmarg in Jammu and Kashmir.
crowds of tourists everywhere
At the same time, the number of tourists in Manali and Shimla of Himachal Pradesh has also reached record level. Even in Nainital of Uttarakhand, traffic and crowd remain a big challenge for the administration. Talking about religious places, from Mathura-Vrindavan, Ayodhya and Kashi in Uttar Pradesh to Jagannathpuri in Odisha, Dwarka in Gujarat, Mahakal Temple in Ujjain in Madhya Pradesh and Shirdi in Maharashtra, there are long queues of devotees at almost every major pilgrimage site. The special thing is that this time there is more participation of youth in welcoming the New Year.
