Uttarakhand: The Char Dham Yatra, which was, for the time being, suspended due to relentless rains in Uttarakhand, resumed in Kedarnath, Gangotri and Yamunotri after the rains lagged behind on Thursday.

Notwithstanding the weather improvement,   roadways in Badrinath are still blocked and will be reopened after the weather clears. At least 54 people have died in rain-related incidents in the state. Devotees are leaving for the Char Dham pilgrimage from Haridwar and Rishikesh in public and private vehicles.

According to the Uttarakhand Char Dham Devasthanam Management Board, the helicopter service in Kedarnath, Gangotri and Yamunotri has become smooth and will resume in Joshimath and Pipalkoti soon. A large part of Almora Highway has also been completely damaged due to incessant rains. Many roads from Haldwani to Almora and from Almora to Ranikhet and Bageshwar have been damaged which has affected the movement of traffic.

Meanwhile, member of Devasthanam Management Board, Dr Harish Gaur, said that worship is going on in all the temples of Uttarakhand Char Dham on a daily basis. Thus far, about 2.00 Lakh pilgrims have reached Char Dham since the opening of the gates of the temples.
