So we went to Shivkhodi for darshan
Then the sound of people crying and screaming came. In between they were also firing intermittently. These terrorists were firing even after descending into the valley. The pilgrims remained silent. As soon as they died, they had to act. Another injured person said, “We had come to visit Vaishno Devi. We had time. So we went to Shivkhodi for darshan. We returned after darshan. Exactly half an hour later, firing took place on our car. The glass of the bus broke. Our bus fell into the valley. Even after that, firing started from time to time.”
