Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami said on Sunday that about 33 lakh people have visited the Char Dham so far this year.

The Char Dham Yatra 2025 officially began on April 30 with the opening of the Gangotri and Yamunotri Dham on Akshaya Tritiya amid Vedic chants and rituals. The doors of Kedarnath Dham were opened on May 2, and those of Badrinath on May 4.

He added that their goal is to provide the best facilities for all labourers.

Amazing to see so many devotees visiting Char Dham! 🙏 But the government must ensure better infrastructure and safety measures. Last year there were reports of overcrowding and accidents. Devotion shouldn't come at the cost of safety.

Just returned from Char Dham yatra last week! The spiritual experience was incredible but the roads need improvement. Also, more clean toilets and drinking water facilities would make the journey easier for elderly pilgrims.

Good to see Uttarakhand focusing on both spiritual tourism and worker welfare. The Yoga Policy is a visionary step - hope it brings more international visitors to our sacred land. Haridwar to Badrinath is truly India's spiritual highway!

While the numbers are impressive, I worry about environmental impact. The Himalayas are fragile. Government should limit daily visitors and enforce strict waste management. Our pilgrimage sites shouldn't turn into garbage dumps.

Planning my Char Dham yatra next month! Any suggestions for best time to visit Kedarnath to avoid crowds? Also, kudos to CM Dhami for worker welfare initiatives - our laborers are the backbone of these pilgrimage routes.

The Kanwar Yatra preparations must include proper medical facilities and traffic management. Last year saw many accidents. Safety first! Also, more women police personnel would make female pilgrims feel more secure.
