Char Dham Yatra Resumes in Uttarakhand
The Char Dham Yatra in Uttarakhand was temporarily stopped because of heavy rains and landslides.
It started again on Tuesday after officials checked the travel routes.
The Garhwal Commissioner said that the pilgrimage is being done with the help of different agencies.
They are watching the routes and weather closely to keep the pilgrims safe.
If the route gets blocked, pilgrims should stay in safe places until it's safe to travel again.
The safety of the pilgrims is the most important thing, and all departments are working together to make sure everything is safe.
Char Dham Yatra resumed on Tuesday after a temporary suspension due to heavy rains and landslides.
The pilgrimage was suspended on Monday and resumed after a review of travel routes.
The pilgrimage is being conducted in coordination with district administrations, police, SDRF, and relevant departments.
Travel routes are being continuously monitored, with special vigilance in vulnerable areas.
Pilgrims are advised to stay in safe locations or 'holding areas' if the route is obstructed and follow administration and police instructions.
