The state government is emphasizing on tourism

In this episode, after the closure of the doors of the four Dhams Badrinath, Kedarnath, Gangotri and Yamunotri, the journey to the winter seats of these Dhams has been started. The intention of the government behind this is that people come to the state for pilgrimage and tourism throughout the year.
Recently, Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami met Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Delhi and informed him about the winter travel started in the state. He also requested him to visit any winter tourist destination of Uttarakhand.
When Prime Minister Modi came to Dehradun on January 28 for the inauguration of the National Games, he praised the effort of winter travel. Also, he had talked about being a part of the winter yatra. Actually, Prime Minister Modi has a special affection for Uttarakhand and he considers it his second home. The reconstruction of Kedarnath Dham is a part of his dream project and due to this, today Kedarpuri has taken on a new look.
Badrinath Dham is also being developed according to the master plan, and many works have also been approved in Gangotri and Yamunotri. Whenever the Prime Minister gets time, he comes to Devbhoomi. He has played an important role in the branding of Chardham Yatra including Kedarnath Dham. Now his visit is being considered important from the point of view of promoting the winter yatra and its branding. If he visits the winter seat of Gangotri Dham and stays there, then naturally the winter yatra will be branded.
