VIP darshan ban for Char Dham Yatra amid huge crowd: Uttarakhand chief secretary

DEHRADUN: Radha Raturi, the chief secretary of Uttarakhand, has decided to prolong the prohibition on VIP darshan until the end of May, considering the massive influx of devotees participating in the Char Dham Yatra.

This decision aims to facilitate smooth and unhindered access for all pilgrims visiting the four sacred sites.
Furthermore, Raturi has issued a directive to the Secretary of Tourism, the Commissioner of Garhwal Division, as well as the district magistrates and superintendents of police in the relevant districts.
The order strictly forbids videography and the creation of social media reels within a 50-meter radius surrounding the temple complexes at all four Dhams.
