Uttarakhand Chardham Yatra begins |
The annual Chardham yatra commenced April 21 with the opening of the sacred portals of the Himalayan shrines of Gangotri and Yamunotri after a six-month winter break. Elaborate arrangements have been made for the safety of the pilgrims. Security personnel have been deployed along the routes to the shrines and precautions taken along patches prone to landslides to avoid delay in opening roads that get blocked during landslides. The portals of two remaining shrines of Kedarnath and Badrinath that are included in the Chardhams will be opened on April 24 and April 26, respectively.
