PM Modi will visit Kedarnath tomorrow to review and initiate various development projects.
Ganga Dhar Linga, Pradhan Pujari of Badrinath-Kedarnath Mandir Samiti said, “The preparation is in full swing here at Kedarnath ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit. PM Modi will offer prayers at Kedarnath tomorrow morning. The Prime minister will lay the foundation stone of various development projects here.”
He further said that tourism has increased after the 2013 landslides and flash floods disaster.
“After the disaster, there has been a substantial increase in pilgrims. Recently, around 15 lakh people visited Kedarnath Dham. Because of the construction of roads, it will be very easy for devotees to ascent towards the shrine and descend back easily,” he said.
The Pradhan Pujari said that after the development and widening of roads, more people will visit the shrine.
“For almost two years, the temple was closed due to the Covid-19 pandemic, but after the temple was open, the number of devotees increased.” he added.
