Mansarovar yatra on the lines of Char Dham: CM

The annual yatra to Mansarovar will be conducted on the lines of the Char Dham pilgrimage and the issue of creating proper infrastructure facilities on its route will be taken up effectively with the Centre, Chief Minister Harish Rawat said on Wednesday.

Giving an assurance to representatives of Ran Welfare Organisation here, Rawat said a detailed roadmap is being prepared to develop Om Parvat and Chhota Kailash?on way to Mansarovar for the convenience of pilgrims.

The pilgrimage to Mansarovar will be conducted on the lines of Char Dham yatra and all efforts will be made to create proper infrastructure facilities along its route with active involvement of the Centre, he said.

‘The Centre will be requested to complete pending road projects on Mansarovar route and the border areas on a priority basis.

The BRO which is constructing roads in the border areas has been asked to speed up its operations and complete the projects soon,’ he told the RWA delegation, adding, the matter will be taken up effectively with the Centre if need be. ‘Rans’ are a sub-caste of the Bhutia tribe which inhabit the yatra route located partially in both Uttarakhand and in Tibet.
