NGT caps daily Vaishno Devi traffic at 50,000 pilgrims

Considering the Vaishno Devi Bhawan cannot accommodate more than 50,000 people, a NGT bench headed by chairperson Justice Swatanter Kumar said any additional pilgrims would be stopped at Ardhkuwari or Katra town. The green panel also said the new path to the shrine exclusively for pedestrians and battery-operated cars should be opened from November 24.
