CM Dhami said that under the guidance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the reconstruction work in Badrinath and Kedarnath is going on at a fast pace. Work is in progress day and night for the convenience of the devotees. He said that on the lines of the world-famous Chardham, the Manaskhand Temple Garland Project has been started by the State Government in Kumaon. Under this, the master plan of Jageshwar Dham has been prepared. Under this project, the important mythological/historical places of the Kumaon division will be popularized by linking them with the circuit so that pilgrims/tourists from India and abroad can be attracted to come here and their journey can be made easy. —ANI
