Pilgrims from different states of the country are reaching Uttarakhand to visit Chardham including Badrinath-Kedarnath. But in view of the huge crowd of pilgrims, the government has suspended offline registration till May 31. 3,000 pilgrims are present at the holding points of Rishikesh and Haridwar. All the pilgrims are returning safely from Chardham. In view of the ever increasing number of devotees, the head of the concerned district located in Chardham has been instructed to identify new places for investment and develop parking facilities. The District Head has also been instructed to cooperate with the National Tour Operators for the successful management of Chardham Yatra and to increase communication with the District Head and administration of the states of the country from where the maximum number of pilgrims come.
Crowds gathered for registration
