Char Dham Yatra decided to partially open for the locals.
After the HC asked to re-review the Char Dham Yatra, the Uttarakhand cabinet has come up with a decision to partially open the Chardham Yatra for locals in limited numbers from 1 July. The priests will be vaccinated beforehand said the cabinet.
The state cabinet also decided to issue guidelines for Chardham Yatra for pilgrims from Chamoli, Uttarkashi, and Rudraprayag. According to the state government, all necessary arrangements will be made and steps will be taken.
While addressing the media, the Uttarakhand government`s spokesman Subodh Uniyal said Badrinath, Kedarnath, Gangotri and Yamunotri will be opened for residents of Chamoli, Rudraprayag and Uttarkashi districts respectively from July 1 with a cap on the number of pilgrims to visit the temples daily.
A senior official will be appointed for each of the four Himalayan temples who will coordinate with the district administration concerned about the arrangement for pilgrims, Uniyal added.
The spokesman also said that the Chardham yatra will be further eased after reviewing the Covid situation.
