Coronavirus outbreak: Mata Vaishno Devi yatra closed from today

Traffic on the Jammu-Srinagar national highway was suspended, while authorities ordered the closure of schools in Doda and Kishtwar districts as heavy rains lashed the Jammu region, creating a flood-like situation at many places, officials said on Wednesday. They said rivers and rivulets in many places, especially in Kathua and Samba districts, have reached close to or crossed the flood alert level. The weather office has predicted more rains in the region. Heavy rains lashed wide parts of Jammu division overnight, triggering mudslides and landslides at several places along the Jammu-Srinagar national highway in Ramban district, forcing authorities to suspend traffic, the officials said. "The highway is still blocked and people are advised not to travel till the restoration work is completed," a traffic department official said. The officials said the traffic on the Jammu-Pathankot highway was also diverted in Kathua district where two pillars of a bridge suffered damages due to flash <keyword id="48088" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="floods" source="Orion">floods</keyword> in Tarnah nallah. They said all government and private schools were closed for the day in Doda and Kishtwar districts as a precautionary measure. The decision was taken for the safety of the students as the water level in the Chenab river and its tributaries is on the rise amid continuous rainfall, they added. <keyword id="50509" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="katra" source="Orion">Katra</keyword>, the base camp for pilgrims visiting <keyword id="52191" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="vaishno-devi" source="Orion">Vaishno Devi</keyword> shrine, received 315.4 mm rainfall, an all-time high, a spokesperson of the meteorological department said. "This is the heaviest rainfall since 1980," he said. The chopper and battery car service at the Mata Vaishno Devi shrine atop Trikuta hills in Reasi district was also suspended due to the inclement weather, the officials said. While the Vaishno Devi pilgrimage is going on smoothly, the new battery car track to the shrine was closed in view of the apprehension of shooting of stones and landslide, the officials said. They said the helicopter service to the shrine was also suspended due to inclement weather. Rivers and rivulets in many places, especially in Kathua and Samba districts, have reached close to or crossed the flood alert level with the weather office predicting more rains till noon. "The flood situation is grim in Kathua and Samba as all the rivers including Ujh in Kathua and Basantar have crossed flood alert mark, while the water level in Tawi, Chenab and its tributaries in Jammu are nearing the flood alert level," an official said. The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has predicted widespread to fairly widespread rainfall in various parts of Jammu and Kashmir over the next seven days. Mohinder Singh, Head of IMD Centre Jammu, said the Union Territory will receive widespread to fairly widespread rainfall in the coming week. "There was heavy rainfall in the past 24 hours in various parts of Jammu and Kashmir. The highest amount of rainfall occurred in the Katra belt of Reasi district," he said. "The recorded rainfall in Katra was 315.4 mm, categorised as extremely heavy," Singh said. This is the highest recorded rainfall in the region in 43 years, he said. The IMD official advised the <keyword id="44352" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="amarnath-yatra" source="Orion">Amarnath Yatra</keyword> pilgrims to adhere to the guidelines provided at their respective base camps. "They should follow the weather reports and advisories of the administration before undertaking the yatra," he said. The IMD also has predicted the possibility of flash floods in low-lying areas of Jammu and Kashmir. In an advisory, police said due to continuous heavy rainfall, the Chadwal bridge on the Jammu-Pathankot national highway has been closed for traffic. "Dear residents and passengers of Kathua. Due to the recent and continuous heavy rains in the area, we are sorry to inform you that the Chadwal bridge has been damaged. In consequence, this creates a potential threat to all vehicles and pedestrians trying to cross it," the advisory said. Floods in Taranah nallah caused damages to the pillars of the bridge resulting in its slight sinking, it said. "Please follow diversion and temporary routes. These routes are designed to facilitate smooth traffic flow and reduce discomfort," the advisory said. Police also asked the people to report suspicious activities. "If you see any suspicious activities on the roads or encounter potential threats, please inform the nearest police station immediately," the advisory said.

The decision was taken in an emergency meeting by <keyword id="6457833" type="LOCATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="tirumala-tirupati-devasthanam-board">Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam Board</keyword>. As per the board, the decision to close the Lord Venkateshwara Swamy or Balaji temple is a precautionary measure to control the spread of coronavirus. Tirumala Tirupati joins the list of several temples that have temporarily shut their doors amid the coronavirus outbreak. Shirdi Sai Baba, Visa Balaji temple in Hyderabad, temples in Maharashtra and Shakti temples in Himachal Pradesh have also been closed temporarily. Decision taken after a person fell ill in the temple The chairman of the board, YV Subba Reddy told NDTV that a person was shifted to a hospital from the temple. The person came from Maharashtra and had a fever, cough and cold. After he was shifted, the <keyword id="6359076" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="ttd">TTD</keyword> board called an emergency meeting. The person had reportedly come with 100 other pilgrims who had visited several other temples across the country. His sample has been sent for testing. Daily puja rituals to continue Mr Subba Reddy said that the daily puja rituals will be continued to be carried out by the archakas. "Though for the last few days we have been asking devotees to avoid coming to the temple, the situation now is such that we have to close the temple. The daily puja rituals will be carried out by the archakas.” Footfall had decreased to 30,000 per day Tirumala Tirupati usually gets around 75,000 to 90,000 devotees every day. After the appeal by the board to avoid coming to the temple, the footfall had decreased to around 30,000 devotees per day this week. "Even that can be a huge health risk. That is the reason we decided to shut the temple to devotees. We are stopping them at Alipiri today itself. That may upset people, but it cannot be avoided." Mr Reddy added.
