Chardham Yatra To Resume From July 1 For Pilgrims From Uttarakhand
Pilgrims is probably not allowed to go into the sanctum sanctorum of the temples
Dehradun:
The Uttarakhand Devasthanam Control Board on Monday made up our minds to open the “Chardham Yatra” for pilgrims from throughout the state from July 1 after closing close for months to curb the unfold of coronavirus.
The 4 well-known Himalayan shrines of Badrinath, Kedarnath, Gangotri and Yamunotri in Uttarakhand’s Garhwal area are referred to as “Chardham”.
An order allowing Uttarakhand citizens to consult with the 4 temples from July 1 matter to more than a few precautionary measures and restrictions used to be issued via the Temple Board’s CEO Ravinath Raman on Monday.
The selection of pilgrims visiting the temples day by day, alternatively, can be restricted and they’re going to no longer be allowed to go into the sanctum sanctorum and adjacent wings of the temples.
The pilgrims is probably not allowed to make any choices or contact the idols on the temples, the order mentioned.
Pilgrims from containment and buffer zones is probably not allowed to consult with the temples, it added.
The SOP for pilgrims visiting the temples makes it necessary for them to use on-line for e-passes at the temple board’s site.
They may be able to embark at the yatra handiest after they’re issued the e-passes.
Other people above sixty years of age, kids under ten years and the ones with cough, chilly and fever were instructed to not observe for e-passes.
Hand-sanitising, dressed in mask and keeping up bodily distance can be necessary right through the pilgrimage.
A identical resolution used to be taken via the board previous this month however needed to be withdrawn following protests via monks who had been averse to opening the yatra even for locals as COVID-19 instances had been on the upward thrust.
