Uttarakhand: CM Dhami holds Char Dam review meeting, to take stock of yatra prep

On Monday, Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami met with senior officers to review the preparations for the Char Dham Yatra at the state secretariat’s Veer Chandra Singh Garhwali Bhawan. Given the unprecedented number of pilgrims who participated in the Char Dham Yatra last year, the government will make new plans to make the yatra more comfortable this year.

According to official data for the Chardham and Hemkunt Sahib yatras, footfall nearly surpassed the 22 lakh mark last year. One of the key issues to be addressed during this preparation review meeting will be the Joshimath land subsidence issue. Joshimath is regarded as the final stop on the way to the holy Badrinath Dham.

After the occurrence of land subsidence in the town of Joshimath, the construction of the all-weather Char Dham road has already been halted. CM Dhami assured the media last month that Joshimath would not disrupt the Chardham yatra and that all necessary precautions would be taken to ensure pilgrim safety.

The Char Dham Yatra is scheduled to begin in April 2022.
