The Char Dham Yatra in Uttarakhand has been suspended for the next 24 hours on Sunday due to a red alert for heavy rainfall issued by the India Meteorological Department ( IMD).
Garhwal Commissioner Vinay Shankar Pandey confirmed that pilgrims who have reached Rishikesh are being asked to stay put, while those who have already moved ahead are being stopped at designated safe locations.
The IMD has forecast extremely heavy rain in several districts, prompting the administration to take precautionary measures to avoid any untoward incidents along the pilgrimage route.
Authorities have urged devotees to follow official advisories and avoid travelling to the hills until weather conditions improve.
