Tourism department will put up signboards in seven languages
To make the Char Dham Yatra of 2023 more convenient and accessible for pilgrims from different parts of the country, the tourism department has decided to put up signboards in seven languages across the city. The District Tourism Officer has written to the Garhwal Commissioner seeking permission to install 50 signboards in the first phase, which will contain information for the convenience of passengers coming from other states.
Currently, the signboards in the city only contain information in Hindi or English, which makes it difficult for people from South India to read the guidelines related to travel. With the new signboards in place, pilgrims from states such as Gujarat, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, and Punjab will be able to access the information they need in their native language.
In an effort to make the Char Dham Yatra of 2023 more accessible and convenient for passengers from different parts of the country, District Tourism Officer Jaspal Singh Chauhan has announced that signboards will be installed in five additional languages. These signboards will be in Tamil, Telugu, Oriya, Gujarati, and Bengali and will be placed near the registration counters and at crowded places in the city.
The doors of the four Dham’s will open on this day
The Chardham Yatra for 2023 has been scheduled to start on April 22. According to tradition, the doors of Gangotri and Yamunotri Dham will open on the auspicious day of Akshaya Tritiya, which falls on April 22.
