Expansion
Due to the ongoing severe weather conditions in Kedarnath, there is a discussion about temporarily suspending registration for Kedarnath Dham until May 10. However, on Monday, the registration for the other three Dhams from Rishikesh continued as usual. Despite the possibility of registration being suspended for Kedarnath Dham, information about the registration process was still being shared with pilgrims.
According to Premanand, who is in charge of registration at the transit camp, around 800 to 900 pilgrims registered for the Char Dham Yatra on a regular basis. However, due to the onset of cold waves in the plains, it is expected that the government may temporarily suspend the registration for the Kedarnath Yatra until May 10. Meanwhile, the police in Muni Ki Reti advised pilgrims traveling to Badrinath Kedarnath Yatra in Tapovan to prepare for the weather by carrying warm clothes, safety equipment, and medicines to prevent cold-related illnesses.
