Char Dham Yatra Temporarily Suspended Due To Bad Weather

Every year, hundreds of people go on one of India's most revered pilgrimages: the Char Dham Yatra in Uttarakhand. The yatra passes through the four pilgrimage sites of Kedarnath, Yamunotri, Badrinath, and Gangotri. This year's pilgrimage started on May 10. However, according to the latest reports, the ongoing yatra has been halted due to heavy rain alerts issued by the India Meteorological Department. The halt to the yatra was asked for by Garhwal Divisional Commissioner Vinay Shankar Pandey who advised pilgrims en route to the Hindu shrines to remain where they are.
