Highcourt Ban Chardham Yatra, Govt to move SC

For this, vaccination of pilgrimage priests is being done. All the pilgrims had to bring RPCR or antigen negative report.

Let us inform that even in the first wave of Corona last year, the government started the Chardham Yatra from July 1. This time too, when the pace of the second wave of Corona slowed down, the government had approved to start the Chardham Yatra for the people of Chamoli, Rudraprayag and Uttarkashi districts.

In the cabinet of June 25, the state government had decided to start the Chardham Yatra in a limited way for three districts of the state, but today the High Court stayed the decision of the Uttarakhand cabinet to start the Chardham Yatra from July 1. Along with this, the court also directed for live telecast of the worship to be done in the four dhams.

The court said that it is more important to save the lives of people from the Delta Plus variant of Corona than in the interest of selected people, priests and priests. The government should also give priority to the larger public interest in this matter.
