Char Dham: No VIP darshan in first month for 'better crowd management'

"This decision aims to ensure a smoother experience for all devotees. VIPs who wish to participate in the yatra can do so as ordinary pilgrims," a government spokesperson said. "The initiative is expected to promote inclusivity and allow all devotees to experience the sacred journey on an equal footing," said the spokesperson.
