Dehradun: After the terrorist attack on tourists in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, the way for Pakistani Hindus to come for the Char Dham Yatra has been closed. 77 people from Pakistan have registered to visit Kedarnath, Badrinath, Gangotri and Yamunotri Dham. This time the maximum registrations for the Char Dham Yatra have been done from the United States, Nepal and Malaysia.
The online registration figure for the Char Dham Yatra starting from April 30 has crossed 21 lakh. In this, 24729 passengers from abroad have registered to come on the Yatra. The number of people registering from Pakistan is 77.
There is anger in the whole country due to the terrorist attack on tourists in Pahalgam. The central government has taken a strict decision to not give visa to people coming from Pakistan and to ask the Pakistani people living in India to return within 48 hours.
The Pahalgam terror incident has dashed the hopes of Pakistani Hindus to come on the Char Dham Yatra. Pakistanis who have registered will no longer be able to visit the Char Dham. While travelers from other countries can visit the Char Dhams as per their travel plans.
According to the registration data of the Tourism Department, the number of travelers registering from US, Nepal, Malaysia is the highest. So far, people from more than 100 countries have registered to come on the Char Dham Yatra.
