REASI: In a spiritually uplifting event, Deputy Commissioner Reasi Nidhi Malik today flagged off the Holy Chhari to Mindal Mata here from Nau Deviyan Katra. The Chhari Yatra will travel from Nau Deviyan in Reasi to Mindal in Himachal via Kishtwar Sol village. SSP Reasi Paramvir Singh, other senior officers and a large number of devotees were also present on the occasion.

The congregation commenced with the chanting of mantras and bhajans, invoking blessings for a safe and successful yatra. The yatra holds deep religious significance and draws a large number of devotees every year who undertake the sacred journey to the holy shrine.

Addressing the gathering, the DC extended her best wishes to the pilgrims and urged them to maintain discipline, hygiene and environmental sanctity throughout the pilgrimage. She also appreciated the coordinated efforts of various departments for making comprehensive arrangements to facilitate a smooth and safe yatra experience.
