The state’s Char Dham Yatra has started with the opening of the portals of Gangotri and Yamonotri. The portals of Kedarnath will be opened for the devotees on April 25. In view of rain and snowfall in Kedarnath, the pilgrims are requested to start their journey for Kedarnath based on the weather forecast. Notably, intermittent rain and snowfall have been happening in Kedarnath for the past few days.

The pilgrims are further requested to bring with them sufficient warm clothes to protect themselves from rain and cold. The pilgrims may face difficulties because of the intense cold now prevailing in Kedarnath. However, adequate health arrangements have been made along the yatra route. The pilgrims should go to the nearest health centre to consult doctors if they fall sick on starting pilgrimage or during the pilgrimage. The state government has reiterated its commitment to ensure a smooth and secure pilgrimage. All arrangements related to the yatra are being monitored regularly at the high levels.
