On the auspicious occasion of 'Maha Ashtami', Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha paid obeisance at Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine here on Sunday and prayed for the peace, prosperity and progress of the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir.

The Live Darshan Facility is available at the official website of the Shrine Board - www.maavaishnodevi.org. This initiative has been taken by the Shrine Board for the larger facilitation of devotees.

In addition, with an aim to provide authentic information to pilgrims, a bi-lingual interactive Chatbot 'Shakti' has been developed for the official website augmenting the 24x7 toll-free helpline for addressing queries and grievances received from pilgrims. It is pertinent to mention that over 20,000 pilgrims are being facilitated every month by the Call Centre, the statement said.
