JAMMU : Hundreds of Vaishno Devi pilgrims from various parts of the country are stranded in Jammu due to the ongoing countrywide lockdown.
With money running out and nowhere to go, they have assembled in a temple complex in Jammu. Shanti Devi from Bihar is among those pilgrims stranded.
She couldn't return to Bihar and is now worried about her ageing mother and a young child. "I am extremely worried about my family back home, I appeal to the government to do something for the stranded pilgrims," she said.
The Jammu administration is providing them with food through local volunteers. "The administration is taking care of them and ensuring that they don't face any problems," Divisional Commissioner Jammu Sanjeev Verma said.
