Breaking: PM Modi Visits Harsil, Launches Winter Yatra Initiative to Boost Uttarakhand Tourism

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has arrived in Harsil, Uttarakhand, as part of his one-day visit to the region. From there, he is heading to Mukhba, where he will perform a special puja to honor Maa Ganga. The Prime Minister will also address a public gathering in Harsil, emphasizing the importance of religious tourism and connectivity for the region. This visit holds significant meaning for Uttarakhand, as it highlights the government's initiative to promote winter tourism. Traditionally, the Char Dham pilgrimage is closed during the winter months due to harsh weather conditions. However, this year, both the central and state governments have introduced the "Winter Yatra," allowing devotees to visit the Char Dham temples during the colder months. The Prime Minister’s visit aims to encourage more visitors and strengthen the connection between the people and the region, boosting the local economy dependent on tourism and religious activities.
