The revered Chardham Yatra has begun with fervour, as the doors of Kedarnath, Gangotri, and Yamunotri opened on May 10, followed by Badrinath on May 12. Since its commencement, a massive influx of pilgrims has embarked on this sacred journey, with over 26 lakh pilgrims already registered. Despite the anticipation and excitement, the pilgrimage is facing significant challenges due to overwhelming crowds and inadequate arrangements.
