I/We highly appreciate with a lot of thanks to the Govt. in case this project in papers goes into a reality. For the second time to Kedarnath & third time to Badrinath I could get a chance to make a travel with my family
again in my own car on expected safer
roads instead of the previously experienced dangerous roads in year 1997 & 2007. Kindly start & complete the project at the earliest in the interest of Hindus being deprived of their religious pilgrimages following the disaster of June 2013 due to the lack of safer roads must for making a safe exit in case of any such eventualities in future.
