Kanwar Yatra: Uttarakhand Faces Waste Management Crisis Amidst Pilgrim Surge

Every year, lots of people visit Uttarakhand for a religious trip called the Kanwar Yatra.

This year, a huge number of people came, creating lots of trash.

People are worried because there aren't enough ways to manage all the waste, like plastic and dirty stuff.

The roads get messy, making it hard to walk around.

Even though the government is working on cleaning up, the waste is still a big problem.

They're also getting ready for a bigger event in the future and hope to improve how they handle trash.

During the event, waste increases dramatically, which poses a problem for the existing waste management system.
