J&K Police filed an FIR against Orry and seven others for consuming alcohol in Katra, near Vaishno Devi. The incident, contrary to the area's alcohol ban, drew public ire on social media.

FIR Against Orry: Liquor Use Near Vaishno Devi

Social influencer Orry and seven others are charged for consuming alcohol in Katra near the Vaishno Devi shrine. The FIR was filed under local law protecting the sanctity of the religious area.

Influencer Orry faces FIR for liquor use near Vaishno Devi

J&amp;K Police filed an FIR against Orry and seven others for consuming alcohol in Katra, near Vaishno Devi. The incident, contrary to the area's alcohol ban, drew public ire on social media.

In a significant development, the Jammu and Kashmir Police have registered an FIR against social media influencer Orhan Awatramani, commonly known as Orry, and seven others.
The charges stem from allegations of consuming alcohol within Katra town, which serves as the base for pilgrims heading to the revered Mata Vaishno Devi shrine located in the Trikuta Hills.
The case was lodged under Section 223 of the BNS, which pertains to disobedience of an order by a public servant, at the Katra police station. In light of the town's proximity to the temple, the Union Territory administration maintains a strict prohibition on the consumption and sale of alcohol and non-vegetarian products in the area.
According to the police, the accused allegedly indulged in liquor consumption on a hotel premises despite explicit instructions prohibiting such activities. Reasi SSP Paramvir Singh has reinforced a zero-tolerance stance on drug and alcohol use in religious locales and has mandated the apprehension of those involved to set a deterrent precedent.
The incident gained attention after photos circulated on social media, stirring discontent among local residents. However, by the time authorities moved to act, the accused had reportedly vacated the hotel and departed from Katra, sources indicate.
Alongside Awatramani, those named in the FIR include Darshan Singh, Parth Raina, Ritick Singh, Rashi Dutta, Rakshita Bhogal, Shagun Kohli, and Anastasia Arzamaskina. A special team has been formed to locate and bring the individuals to account, police officials stated.

Protests in Katra against the proposed Vaishno Devi ropeway project continue for a third day, with locals claiming the project threatens livelihoods. 

Katra Shutdown Continues as Protests Erupt Over Vaishno Devi Ropeway Project

The proposed Rs 250-crore ropeway project will connect Tarakote Marg to Sanji Chhat, leading to the cave shrine in Reasi district.

The shutdown in Katra against the proposed Vaishno Devi ropeway project entered its third day on Friday, with more people sitting on the hunger strike to demand the release of those detained during earlier demonstrations.
The Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Sangharsh Samiti called for a 72-hour shutdown, which began on Wednesday. It announced that all activities in Jammu and Kashmir's Katra would remain suspended during the bandh.
Women and children have now joined the six protesters who began a hunger strike on Wednesday night, demanding the release of 18 Samiti members detained during a protest march against the project earlier that day.
Last month, the Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine Board decided to move forward with a Rs 250-crore passenger ropeway project between Tarakote Marg to Sanji Chhat along the 12-kilometre track to the shrine after shelving the project in the past due to similar protests.
The project will facilitate access to the temple for senior citizens, children and others who find it difficult to climb the track to the cave shrine, it had said.
The Samiti, which represents shopkeepers, pony operators and palanquin owners, argues that the ropeway would destroy the livelihoods of local business owners and has demanded that the project be scrapped.
With black flags displayed across the town, shops, restaurants, and other business establishments remained closed for the third day, and vehicular movement was at a standstill, following the Samiti's call for protest.
The bandh has disrupted normal life in one of India&rsquo;s busiest pilgrimage hubs, which is visited daily by thousands of devotees seeking blessings at the cave shrine.
"The bandh is part of our 72-hour-long shutdown against the ropeway project. It is going on peacefully. The committee will decide on the next course of action soon," said a spokesperson for the Samiti.
Criticising the administration for its lack of engagement, the spokesperson said, "The administration is indifferent to the plight of people, including women and children, holding peaceful protests. Our simple demand is to shelve the project, as it threatens the livelihood of Katra residents, most of whom rely on the pilgrimage economy."
He further claimed that instead of initiating dialogue, the administration resorted to force, including the detention of Samiti leaders during a peaceful protest. "They are creating an unnecessary crisis with their approach," he stated.
Shiva, a participant in the hunger strike, had to be hospitalised after his condition deteriorated.
"Our hunger strike will continue until the detained individuals are released. If someone falls ill, another person will replace them," said another participant in the hunger strike.
Eighteen protesters, including Samiti leaders Bhupinder Singh and Sohan Chand, were detained by police during Wednesday's march and taken away from the protest site.
The proposed Rs 250-crore ropeway project will connect Tarakote Marg to Sanji Chhat, leading to the cave shrine in Reasi district.
In Jammu, the Shiv Sena Dogra Front (DFSS) extended its support to the pilgrims, who are facing hardships due to the bandh, and urged that the issue be resolved amicably.
"We stand with the pilgrims and support better facilities. If needed, create two ropeways instead of one. Provide more amenities for accommodating pilgrims during the yatra," said DFSS President Ashok Gupta.
Gupta added that the pilgrimage had significantly boosted Katra's economy, and the bandh was causing inconvenience to devotees. "Yatra, business, ponywalas are all dependent on pilgrims. They should not be put to inconvenience," he said.
"For the past three days, pilgrims have faced immense difficulties. If the authorities fail to address this, we will use our vehicles to ferry pilgrims to the temple and provide them with food," he said.
However, many pilgrims expressed dissatisfaction over the closure of eateries and the unavailability of local transport, which caused significant inconvenience during their journey to the cave shrine.
To lessen the impact of the bandh, the Shrine Board has arranged boarding and lodging for pilgrims arriving in the town.
Special langars at the Katra railway station, Banganga and Tarakote are providing tea and milk to ensure the yatra continues smoothly on both tracks.

The Vyapar Mandal in Katra, Jammu and Kashmir, is set to stage a protest on Wednesday against the approval of the Rs 250-crore ropeway project for the Vaishno Devi temple.

Katra Ropeway Project Sparks Protests

Anshul Garg, CEO of the Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine Board, defended the ropeway project, emphasizing that it is intended to assist elderly and ailing devotees in reaching the temple.

The Vyapar Mandal in Katra, Jammu and Kashmir, is set to stage a protest on Wednesday against the approval of the Rs 250-crore ropeway project for the Vaishno Devi temple.
The Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine Board has greenlit the installation of a ropeway designed to ease access for senior citizens, children, and others unable to trek the 13-km route to the temple. The ropeway will begin at Tarakot Marg and end at Sanjichat, allowing pilgrims to cover the journey in just six to seven minutes.
However, the Vyapar Mandal has raised concerns that the ropeway&rsquo;s construction will bypass key religious stops, such as Banganga, Charan Paduka, and Adhkuwari, potentially disrupting business for local shopkeepers along the traditional path to the temple. Additionally, operators of ponies and palkis (palanquins) have voiced objections to the project, prompting plans for a protest.
This isn&rsquo;t the first demonstration by the local community. In November, shopkeepers protested for four days against the project, during which tensions flared and stones were thrown at police. The then-District Magistrate, Vishesh Pal Mahajan, visited the area and assured the protesters that their concerns would be addressed by December 15. However, Mahajan's transfer soon followed, and shopkeepers suspect that his decision to delay the ropeway project was a factor in his reassignment.
In response to the ongoing controversy, shops in Katra will remain closed on Wednesday as part of the protest, with local residents backing the strike. Additionally, all political parties in the region, except the BJP, have come together to support the action.
Anshul Garg, CEO of the Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine Board, defended the ropeway project, emphasizing that it is intended to assist elderly and ailing devotees in reaching the temple. He assured that the temple administration is committed to addressing the concerns of Katra's residents.

A fire mysteriously breaks out on a bus carrying Hindu pilgrims from Vaishno Devi in Jammu and Kashmir. 4 people die, 24 are injured.
Days after this incident caused alarm in the Union Territory, it appears that this was a terror attack. But more significantly, the possible modus operandi used is the same as Taliban in Afghanistan.
The fire on the bus near Katra was caused by a 'sticky bomb', according to BJP's J&K unit chief Ravinder Raina. The BJP leader claimed that this had been discovered during a forensic probe by the National Investigation Agency, or NIA.
So, what are sticky bombs? And what is their link to the Taliban?
Sticky bombs refer to explosives usually used on vehicles. Explosives packed into small box, and a magnet and a mobile phone are attached to box. When the attacker dials phone number programmed into the mobile, the explosives are triggered and a blast occurs.
Such bombs are usually stuck on the underside of vehicles. They were widely used by Taliban fighters in Afghanistan. Subsequently, sticky bombs were also adopted by ISIS-Khorasan against Taliban in the war-torn country.
The latest development comes amid the Indian Army's warning that weapons from Afghanistan were trickling into Kashmir. India has been fearing Taliban's interference in Kashmir ever since the extremist organisation snatched power in Afghanistan in 2021.
Meanwhile, a little-known terror group called the Jammu Kashmir Freedom Fighters, has claimed responsibility for the attack. However, authorities are yet to officially reveal findings of the investigation.

A day after the stampede at the Mata Vaishno Devi hill shrine, authorities on Sunday tightened arrangements with full deployment of security personnel and announced a slew of steps to prevent any congestion at the temple complex as the rush of pilgrims continued.
A high-powered probe committee set up by Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha visited the site and appealed to the general public to share videos, statements or any other evidence about the incident.
Sinha chaired the first meeting of the Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine Board after the stampede and several decisions were taken to ensure the safety of devotees, including provision for 100 percent online registration.
More than 27,000 pilgrims had visited the cave shrine on Saturday, while over 15,000 visited on Sunday till 6 PM, according to officials.
The yatra registered a footfall of over 55.77 lakh in 2021, compared to 17 lakh the previous year due to the coronavirus pandemic. 
Twelve people lost their lives and 16 others were injured in the stampede in the early hours of Saturday after a scuffle between two groups of pilgrims during the New Year rush.
Many eyewitnesses said that there was overcrowding as people were staying back on the shrine premises after darshan instead of returning to the base camp at Katra.
It was the first such tragedy at the revered shrine, located atop the Trikuta hills in Reasi district, where pilgrims reach after a 13-km trek.
