Over a month ahead of the beginning of the Char Dham yatra, Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami on March 31 reviewed preparations for the annual pilgrimage and asked officials to make better use of technology to make the yatra safer and more convenient for pilgrims.
Char Dham Yatra begins on May 3 this year with the opening of the portals of the Yamunotri temple in the Himalayas in the Uttarkashi district. Large crowds of devotees are expected to throng the Himalayan temples this year as the COVID-led restrictions have been removed.
