The Maharashtra government on Tuesday (July 1, 2025) announced that it will provide ex-gratia assistance of ₹4 lakh to the next of kin of warkaris (devotees of Lord Vitthal) in the event of accidental death during the annual Ashadhi Wari pilgrimage to Pandharpur. The announcement was made through a Government Resolution (GR) issued by the Revenue and Forest Department under the 'Vitthal Rakhumai Warkari Yojana – 2025', aimed at extending financial relief to pilgrims undertaking the spiritually significant journey on foot or via private or public transport. Aid for disability and hospitalisation According to the GR, in case of injury or disability during the Wari, warkaris who suffer 40% to 60% of disability will be eligible for ₹74,000, while those with disability exceeding 60% will receive ₹2.5 lakh. The State will also provide medical assistance for hospitalisation — warkaris admitted for over one week will be eligible for ₹16,000, and those hospitalised for less than a week will receive ₹5,400. The scheme will be in effect for incidents occurring during the Wari period from June 16 to July 10, 2025, covering devotees journeying to Shri Kshetra Pandharpur, a prominent temple town in Solapur district, known for the veneration of Lord Vitthal and Goddess Rakhumai. Application process and verification To claim the financial assistance, the concerned warkari or their heir must submit an application to the District Collector, along with a certificate issued by the Tehsildar confirming the individual's participation in Ashadhi Wari–2025. All Tehsildars have been directed to verify such claims and issue certificates accordingly, the GR said. The District Collectors have been authorised to verify applications and sanction the aid after reviewing the Tehsildar's certificate, along with death or medical documentation substantiating the mishap. Following the conclusion of the Wari on July 10, all district collectors are required to submit a comprehensive report detailing the assistance provided in their respective jurisdictions by July 30, 2025.

'Jammu city has come alive with a new vibrancy. The enthusiasm of pilgrims is very hight. Undeterred by terror incidents, devotees of Bhole Baba are arriving in huge numbers, demonstrating their immense faith. I hope that this year's Yatra will be even more historic than previous years,' the Lieutenant Governor said. Eminent spiritual leaders, heads of religious organisations, public representatives, senior officers of civil administration, Police, security forces, and the Shri Amarnath Ji Shrine Board, prominent citizens, and devotees were present in large numbers at the flag-off ceremony. A sea of Lord Shiva's devotees had turned up at the Bhagwati Nagar base camp with men, women and Sadhus seen drenched in divinity. "There is no fear among us. Bhole Ki Fauj, Karegi Mauj.

Another pilgrim, Ashish Kambli, 47, from Shirdi, a third-time visitor to the Amarnath cave shrine, said, "The arrangements are much better this time. We faced no problems, and the administration is extending all possible help to us." Post Pahalgam attack, the BJP government at the Centre has deployed 581 companies of the paramilitary forces to ward off any terror threat to the pilgrimage, considered one of the most revered in Hinduism. Amarnath Yatra has always remained a "high value" target for the Pakistani terror outfits.
