Dehradun: On the one hand, the enthusiasm of the devotees regarding the Chardham Yatra remains at its peak, on the other hand, the number of devotees who lost their lives during the yatra is also increasing rapidly. So far this year, 24 pilgrims have lost their lives during the Kedarnath Yatra. In which 6 women and 18 men are included.
Let us inform that the district administration is making every possible effort to ensure that the pilgrims do not face any problem during their visit to Kedarnath Dham. From small big hospitals to small centers have been set up at every 5 kilometers from the Kedarnath walking route to the road. So that the checkup of passengers can be done on time and they can get treatment soon.
But, still 24 people have lost their lives in 23 days. Heart attack is said to be the cause of most of the deaths. In such a situation, the question arises here that when the health department is making so many claims and paramedical staff and hospitals have been opened from Kedarnath to Sonprayag, Gaurikund and everywhere, patients are being treated, then why so many deaths? On the other hand, Chief Development Officer Naresh Kumar says that the health department is trying its best.
