Every month lakhs of devotees reach for the darshan of Mata Vaishno Devi. However, fortunately, this incident happened during the restrictions to deal with Corona. Due to this, not many people were present there. Had this incident happened on normal days, there could have been untoward incidents like stampede among the devotees. Let us tell you that a large number of buildings have been built along with the Vaishno Devi temple complex, in which arrangements are made for the stay, food etc. of the devotees.

The statement of Union Minister Jitendra Singh coming from Jammu and Kashmir has also come to the fore regarding this incident. He said that some time back there was a fire in Vaishno Devi, but at present it has been brought under control. Along with this, he said that we will have to keep a close watch for the next few hours.
