Uttarakhand officials made the decision due to crowd growth and disruption during Char Dham Yatra. CM Dhami told the media that the number of volunteers had been increased in each Dham. Dhami said it happens every time most people arrive in the first few days, and in this case, the excitement is great because the yatra occurs after a two-year delay. The number of pilgrims visiting the temples has exceeded the daily limit of 38,000 that was previously imposed. On May 8, the doors of the Shri Badrinath Temple were opened to pilgrims. On the first day, an estimated 20,000 pilgrims entered the temple, and an estimated 23,000 people visited Kedarnath Dham on the first day, May 6.
RTO OFFICE SAID IN HIS WORDS :
The RTO office said on May 10 that School Buses could be rented and used on Char Dham Routes if the number of passengers continued to rise sharply. On Sunday, the prime minister said the number of volunteers at Char Dham Yatra was higher than expected. He said the government was making all the plans available but the people were out of control in all four dams. He asked the volunteers to make arrangements for sleep and other things before they arrived.
Dhami said due to the low temperatures at night, visitors are facing a problem. “Although we have made adequate preparations, and we will continue to do more, I urge guests to plan their stay and darshan in advance,” he was quoted as saying by ANI.
