The Morning Standard
|July 18, 2024
THE Supreme Court's highpower committee has reached a consensus to grant permission for the widening of the roads leading to the Char Dham shrines in Uttarakhand though a final approval is awaited, a panel member said.
The project aims to ensure smooth travel of the increasing number of pilgrims visiting Gangotri, Yamunotri, Kedarnath and Badrinath every year. According to officials, currently the 13-kilometre stretch from Augustmuni to Phata bypass in Kedarnath Dham is a singlelane road, causing frequent disruptions in vehicular traffic. Similarly, the 23-km route from Paligad to Janki-Chatti on the Yamunotri Dham road is also a single-lane road.
