Modi In Kedarnath: Prime Minister Narendra Modi maintained his promise to the women of Chamba, Himachal Pradesh, by wearing a dress fashioned by them as he began a three-state tour with prayers at Uttarakhand's Kedarnath, a temple he had visited in November last year.
The 'Chola Dora' outfit, which contains extremely excellent handwork, was given to the prime minister during his recent visit to Himachal. PM Modi told the women that he would wear the outfit for the first time on a visit to a frigid region when he received it, and he kept his word on Friday.
Before travelling to the Badrinath shrine, the prime minister did a "puja" at the temple. Modi is set to check different existing development projects and lay the groundwork for some new ones during his two-day trip of the state. These include setting the groundwork for the 9.7-kilometer Gaurikund-Kedarnath ropeway project.
PM Modi engaged in a free-wheeling conversation with Shramjeevis, who works on development initiatives. He inquired about their home states, the benefits of government aid programmes, and their Covid vaccination status.
During his visit to Kedarnath, Prime Minister Narendra Modi also inspects the progress of development works along the Mandakini and Saraswati Asthapaths, ANI reported.
