The inaccessible path of Chardham is not only affecting the lives of human beings but also the lives of animals. So far 28 devotees have died on the Chardham Yatra, while about 25 horses and mules have also died. The operators are in panic due to the death of horses and mules. At the same time, the veterinary officers are telling the cause of death of animals more work than their capacity. Along with the pilgrims on the Yamunotri footpath, now cases of death of horse mules are also coming to the fore. It is being said that in the last 10 days, 10 horse mules have also died on the road. Local residents and horse-mule operators are citing the inaccessible alternative route of Yamunotri Dham as the reason for these deaths.
