Char Dham

The IMD on Saturday issued an alert for heavy to very heavy rainfall in all the districts of Uttarakhand on Sunday and Monday.

The 12th-century Shree Jagannath Temple in Odisha's Puri, one of the Char Dham pilgrimage sites in India, opened all four gates on Thursday after persistent demands from devotees.

Medical screening for devotees above 50 years of age has been made mandatory. The screening is being done en route to the Himalayan temples.

As devotees flock to Gangotri and Yamunotri for the Char Dham Yatra, the Uttarakhand government on Thursday made it mandatory for devotees to register for the pilgrimage.

Uttarakhand was hit by heavy rains today, a day after the char dham yatra began. The sudden weather change posed difficulties for the devotees on the adventurous pilgrimage.

A huge rush of devotees around the hilly approach to Uttarakhand's Yamunotri - a part of Char Dham along with Gangotri, Kedarnath, and Badrinath - led to a massive crowd build-up on the small hillside path on Saturday.

The doors of the Kedarnath, Gangotri and Yamnotri shrines will open tomorrow, with preparations for the opening of the temples in full swing.

Notably, the doors to Kedarnath, Yamunotri and Gangotri will open on May 10, while Badrinath's doors will open on May 12.

Next to high-tech machines and rescue teams working overtime to save 41 workers trapped in an Uttarakhand tunnel is a waste mountain. This waste has been generated during the construction of the tunnel that is part of the ambitious Char Dham project.

After a landslide and technical issues hampered rescue efforts, three special aircraft of the Indian Air Force are transporting a 25-tonne ray of hope for the 40 labourers who have been trapped in a tunnel in Uttarakhand for over three days now.
