The Char Dham Yatra, a pilgrimage to four holy sites in Uttarakhand, has been postponed from tomorrow, July 7th. The decision comes in light of an alert issued by the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) forecasting heavy to very heavy rainfall in several districts of Uttarakhand’s Garhwal division. The postponement was announced by Garhwal Commissioner Vinay Shankar Pandey, who issued official orders in this regard. The IMD’s warning highlights the potential risks associated with the pilgrimage during this period of heavy rainfall, prompting the authorities to prioritize the safety of the pilgrims. The postponement will likely affect thousands of devotees who had planned to embark on the Char Dham Yatra during this time. The pilgrimage is expected to resume once weather conditions improve and safety can be ensured.
