NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday raised concerns over dumping of garbage by devotees in Kedarnath amid the ongoing Char Dham yatra and urged people to maintain the dignity of pilgrimage sites.
In his monthly radio address 'Mann ki Baat', Modi said, "I have also seen that some devotees are also very sad because of the filth being spread by some pilgrims in Kedarnath. Many people have expressed their views on social media as well. Going on a holy pilgrimage and coming across a heap of filth there is not right... We go there to experience it (the divinity of Dev Bhoomi), so it is our responsibility to maintain this divinity and spirituality."
