Char Dham pilgrims will have to take alcohol test beforehand
The Uttarakhand government has decided to conduct multiple alcohol tests for pilgrims visiting Char Dham, which includes a pilgrimage to Gangotri, Yamunotri, Kedarnath and Badrinath shrines. The pilgrims will also be issued exclusive photo identity cards, which they will have to keep with them throughout the yatra. However, no such restriction will be placed on pilgrims staying at hotels.
