After stampede at Vaishno Devi, shrine board says steps being taken to decongest track

"Steps including decongestion of the entire track, appropriate use of technology for effective crowd and queue management, RFID tracking to be put in place," said J&K LG Manoj Sinha, who chaired a meeting of the Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine Board on Sunday.

A day after the stampede at the Mata Vaishno Devi hill shrine, authorities on Sunday tightened arrangements with full deployment of security personnel and announced a slew of steps to prevent any congestion at the temple complex as the rush of pilgrims continued.

A high-powered probe committee set up by Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha visited the site and appealed to the general public to share videos, statements or any other evidence about the incident.
