The High Court of Jammu and Kashmir has disposed of a petition seeking information about an inquiry report into a stampede at the Mata Vaishno Devi shrine last year, saying it is satisfied with steps taken by the authorities concerned to regulate the smooth conduct of the yatra.
The division bench of Chief Justice N Kotiswar Singh and Judge Justice Wasim Sadiq Nargal, however, directed the government to take effective steps in furtherance of the decision and recommendations of the three-member committee for ensuring safety of the devotees.
In a first-ever stampede at the shrine in Reasi district on January 1 last year, 12 pilgrims lost their lives and 16 others were injured following which the government constituted a three-member committee with a direction to submit its report within a week.
