Kashmir, region of the northwestern Indian subcontinent. The region, with a total area of some 85,800 square miles (222,200 square km), has been the subject of dispute between India and Pakistan since the partition of the Indian subcontinent in 1947. The northern and western portions are administered by Pakistan and comprise three areas: Azad Kashmir, Gilgit, and Baltistan, the last two being part of a territory called the Northern Areas. Administered by India are the southern and southeastern portions, JK and ladakh. The Indian- and Pakistani-administered portions are divided by a “line of control” agreed to in 1972, although neither country recognizes it as an international boundary. In addition, China became active in the eastern area of Kashmir in the 1950s and has controlled the northeastern part of Ladakh since 1962.

Bhatinda Railway Station
Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine Board has introduced Battery Car from Adhkuwari to the Checkpost at the Shrine.
Adhkuwari is about half the distance of the total travel, i.e. about 6 kms. Height wise also it is about half the height of the Shrine. So to reach Adhkuwari you need about half the effort. The object of introducing Battery Car was that for those elderly devotees who cannot trek the entire 14 kms can trek half the distance and half the height upto Adhkuwari and from there take a Battery Car.
Battery car runs on a route different from the one for ponies and is totall tiled with cement tiles and is pretty smooth. This route is about 6 kms and the battery car covers it in about 15-20 minutes. It has Nescafe and a few other outlets along the way
