It's heartening to see our leaders participating in the rituals. Offering the first prayer in the name of the PM shows unity. However, I hope the focus remains equally on improving the road infrastructure and medical facilities along the route. Safety is paramount for such a difficult pilgrimage.

Har Har Mahadev! The spiritual energy of Kedarnath during the opening is something else. Went there two years ago. The government must ensure the fragile ecology of the Himalayas is not damaged by the massive influx of tourists. Development should be sustainable.

As someone who visited Uttarakhand last year, the natural beauty and spiritual sites are incredible. Good to see preparations being reviewed. Hope they have good arrangements for international visitors too, with clear information and assistance.

Char Dham Yatra is the dream of every devout Hindu. The state government's commitment is praiseworthy. May Lord Kedarnath and Badrinath bless everyone. Just a request - please keep a check on prices of food and lodging so that common people are not exploited.

My parents are elderly and are planning to go this year. I'm glad the CM is personally reviewing things. I really hope there are adequate arrangements for senior citizens - like priority queues, resting points, and emergency medical aid on standby. 🙏
