The Char Dham Yatra in Uttarakhand resumed today after a one-day suspension. The pilgrimage had been temporarily halted yesterday as a precaution due to continuous rainfall and the risk of landslides along the pilgrimage routes.

Akashvani’s correspondent reports that the Char Dham Yatra is being conducted in coordination with the district administration, police, SDRF, and other concerned departments. Pilgrimage routes are under continuous surveillance, with heightened vigilance being maintained in vulnerable areas.

Garhwal Commissioner Anand Swaroop has appealed to pilgrims that if the route is temporarily blocked due to heavy rainfall, landslides or any other reason, they should stay only at the safe locations or holding areas designated by the administration and follow the instructions issued by the administration and police.

He said that the safety of pilgrims remains the administration’s highest priority. All concerned departments have been directed to keep a constant watch on weather conditions and the status of the pilgrimage routes. The Commissioner also urged pilgrims to check the latest weather updates before commencing their journey and rely only on official information issued by the administration.
