Chardham Yatra pilgrims to pay registration fee this year
DEHRADUN: Devotees undertaking the Chardham Yatra, scheduled to begin on April 19, will have to pay a minimum registration fee this year, officials said on Tuesday. The exact amount of the fee is expected to be decided soon.
According to officials, a decision in this regard was taken during a meeting of stakeholders chaired by Garhwal Commissioner Vinay Shankar Pandey in Rishikesh on Monday. The meeting, which was attended by Garhwal Inspector General of Police Rajeev Swarup, focused on ensuring a smooth and safe pilgrimage.
Garhwal Commissioner Pandey said while there will be no cap on the number of pilgrims this season, registration remains mandatory for every traveller.
