Tripti Bhatt, commandant of the State Disaster Relief Force (SDRF) has directed all officials in the Kedarnath valley to maintain vigil in view of the Prime Minister’s visit to the temple. The Himalayan shrine, dedicated to Shiva, has been visited multiple times by Modi during his ongoing term in the office. In November last year, Prime Minister Modi had visited the Kedarnath shrine during Diwali. In 2017, he paid visits to the temple twice, once in May after its gate had opened following a six-month winter break and again in October, before the temple again closed for winters. This year, the portals of the Kedarnath temple in the Garhwal Himalayan range of Uttarakhand’s Rudraprayag district were thrown open to pilgrims on 9 May after a six-month-long winter break.
