The Uttarakhand government on Thursday (May 16) decided not to allow VIP darshan at the 'Char dhams' (four pilgrimages)- Kedarnath, Badrinath, Yamunotri and Gangotri- through the rest of the month due to the huge rush of devotees at the Himalayan temples.
There will be no arrangements for Very important person (VIP) darshan at the Char dhams till May 31 (Friday) and offline registration in Haridwar and Rishikesh will remain closed till May 19 (Sunday), Chief Secretary Radha Raturi said in a letter to her counterparts in all states and Union Territories.
