Since there has been significant snowfall along the foot route to Kedarnath and the Meteorological Department has issued a warning, the Uttarakhand government has suspended accepting registration requests from travellers for the Kedarnath Dham Yatra.

The Kedarnath Dham route and Dham have received a lot of snow, and the Indian Meteorological Department has issued an alert. An official declaration predicts that Kedarghati’s weather will continue to be unfavourable over the upcoming week.

“The weather is expected to remain bad in Kedarghati for the next week. On the alert of the Meteorological Department, the state government has stopped the registration of the visit to Kedarnath Dham. The heavy snowfall in Kedarnath has created difficulties for the administration,” the statement said. “Registration of pilgrims for Kedarnath has been stopped in view of the snowfall of three to four feet on the Kedarnath pedestrian route and Dham and the warning of the Meteorological Department,” it added.

Earlier on Sunday, Uttarakhand DGP Ashok Kumar asked the district in-charges of the Garhwal zone to be prepared after the Meteorological Department predicted the possibility of snowfall in Kedarnath Dham in the next six to seven days. During the meeting, Uttarakhand DGP Kumar said that wide publicity should be given across media platforms regarding the continuous snowfall in Kedarnath Dham.
