Sometimes rain and sometimes cold weather tests the devotees at every step, but despite all these difficulties, every year thousands of devotees of Maa Chamunda Devi reach here with full enthusiasm to have darshan.
Charak appealed to the divisional administration, police and traffic police administration and said that keeping in view the situation of Jammu division, strong arrangements should be made for the traffic and security system of the Chhari Mubarak Yatra starting from Jammu so that there is no hindrance in the conduct of Chhari Mubarak Yatra.
