Minor landslide hits new track to Vaishno Devi shrine in J&K 

The new track to the Vaishno Devi shrine in Jammu and Kashmir was briefly closed on Wednesday following a minor landslide in the afternoon.

The new track to the Mata Vaishno Devi shrine atop the Trikuta hills in Jammu and Kashmir's Reasi district was briefly closed on Wednesday following a minor landslide, while helicopter services remained suspended owing to inclement weather, officials said.

The weather also forced the suspension of the yatra in the evening, even as 18,000 pilgrims visited the cave shrine during the day, they said.
