Ahead of Char Dham Yatra, Transport Department Bans Driving in Slippers

With the Char Dham Yatra 2025 set to become a spiritual hub for millions of devotees across the country, the Uttarakhand government and the Transport Department have tightened their focus on road safety.

The annual pilgrimage, which draws people from all corners of India to the sacred shrines of Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath, and Badrinath, is not only a test of faith but also a massive logistical challenge. Recognizing this, the authorities have taken proactive steps to ensure that the journey remains safe and manageable for everyone involved.

In an effort to make the pilgrimage safer, more organized, and smoother for Char Dham Yatra, the department has laid out a detailed action plan. The new set of guidelines introduces stricter measures and a more structured approach to managing traffic and transport during the yatra period. These rules are not limited to vehicle operators alone; they extend to officials and staff on duty, clearly outlining roles and responsibilities at every level. From the condition of the vehicles to driver conduct, and from route monitoring to emergency response systems, every aspect of the journey has been brought under a disciplined and accountable framework.

This move reflects a shift in focus from reactive management to preventive planning. With road safety incidents being a growing concern during the high-traffic Char Dham Yatra season, the government aims to minimize risks through clear rules and on-ground enforcement. The approach this year is not just about controlling the crowd, but about safeguarding lives—making sure that the pilgrimage is not only spiritually enriching but also physically safe for all.
