As many as 4,944 pilgrims — 3,861 males, 776 females, and 308 children — paid obeisance at the temple till Friday evening, a police officer said. Amid spiritual fervour and devotion, pilgrims trekked serpentine tracks to offer prayers at the holy shrine and sought blessings from the goddess for enduring peace, prosperity, and well-being. Jammu, Jul 25 (PTI) The 43-day-long Machail Mata Yatra in Jammu and Kashmir's Kishtwar district commenced on Friday amid multi-tier security arrangements, with over 4,900 pilgrims paying obeisance at the Himalayan shrine. During the pre-yatra period till July 15, a total of 53,618 pilgrims had already visited the shrine, he said, adding that with today's batch, the number of pilgrims who have paid obeisance has gone up to 58,562. The yatra will conclude on September 5. Leader of Opposition in the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly Sunil Sharma, accompanied by Divisional Commissioner Ramesh Kumar, Inspector General of Police Bhim Sen Tuti, and District Magistrate Pankaj Sharma, visited the shrine on the first day after the gates of the Mata Machail temple were opened today. They warmly welcomed all the devotees undertaking the sacred journey of the Mata Machail Yatra. Speaking to reporters after offering prayers, Sharma underlined the significance of the Machail Mata Yatra, which draws lakhs of devotees from across the country. 'Despite the growing number of pilgrims, many still face significant difficulties due to poor road connectivity and inadequate infrastructure. I have constantly worked towards enhancing the basic facilities in this remote and sacred region to ensure a smoother and more comfortable journey for the pilgrims,' he said.

17 tourists rescued after harrowing night in Odisha Forest
Seventeen tourists — including 13 female— will never forget the harrowing 14 hours they spent after losing their way in a dense forest, battling heavy rain, pitch darkness, and the chilly wind atop 3,000-foot altitude. What began as a pilgrimage trek between two revered temples in western Odisha turned into a nightlong ordeal of fear and endurance, before they were finally rescued early on Thursday (July 24, 2025). Around 2 p.m. on Wednesday (July 23, 2025), a group of 17 tourists from Jharsuguda district of Odisha and Raigarh district of Chhattisgarh set out on an 18-kilometre trek through forested, hilly terrain that connects the twin shrines of Nrusinghnath and Harishankar on Gandhamardhan Hill in western Odisha. As daylight faded, they struggled to navigate the narrow and often confusing paths of the Gandhamardhan Hill and eventually lost their way. Fortunately, despite patchy mobile connectivity, they managed to remain in touch with the outside world. Once local authorities were alerted to the situation, police personnel stationed nearby were quickly mobilised, and a full-scale rescue operation was launched. 'It was a long night for the 17 tourists. From Wednesday evening through early Thursday, our teams tracked their movements and worked tirelessly through one of the most challenging rescue operations,' said Bargarh Superintendent of Police Prahlad Sahai Meena, who directly monitored the mission. Upon receiving the distress call, a dedicated team of the District Voluntary Force (DVF) — comprising 30 commandos equipped with food supplies, first-aid kits, and rescue gear — was dispatched to the hill. Navigating the difficult terrain, they reached the stranded group at 4 am on Thursday morning and brought them to safety. The vulnerability of the rescue team—comprising police and forest personnel—was compounded by the presence of Left Wing Extremists in the region. 'As we remained connected over phone, our first advice was to stay on a bald patch of the hill so they could be easily spotted,' recalled Mr. Meena. 'But the rescue team couldn't ascend due to heavy rain and a slippery trail. They had to pause for several hours,' he described. Adding another layer of difficulty, the stranded group had moved about 500 metres away from the designated spot in wee hours of Thursday. One of the girls was visually impaired, making it extremely difficult to bring her down the hill. A stretcher had to be sent for her evacuation. The group's night-long ordeal under relentless rain—accompanied by two children aged seven and eight—must have been harrowing. They also faced the looming threat of wildlife in the forested terrain. Traumatised tourists were not in a mood to speak to media after their rescue.
