The Katra town, the base camp for pilgrims visiting the Vaishno Devi shrine, is observing a 72-hour shutdown from Wednesday against the proposed ropeway project. The locals, including traders, shopkeepers, pony operators, and laborers, have opposed the project, saying it would snatch their livelihood.

Due to the shutdown, the pilgrims faced a lot of inconvenience and hardships. Shops and other business establishments were closed. The shutdown has been called by Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Sangarsh Samiti, which is spearheading agitation against the ropeway project.
