|March 27, 2025
IN a move to facilitate the Char Dham Yatra set to begin in April, the Uttarakhand government has announced the suspension of VIP darshan arrangements for the first month of the pilgrimage season.
"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.
