Discussion on a permanent bridge at Govindghat

Hemkund Sahib Management Trust Chairman Narendra Jeet Singh Bindra recently met Uttarakhand Chief Secretary Anand Vardhan. In the meeting, he discussed the progress of the yatra and its smooth operation. The chairman stressed the need to build a permanent bridge at Govindghat, which has already been announced by CM Dhami. This bridge will play an important role in making the journey more safe and smooth, especially during rainy and snowfall, when the risk on temporary routes increases.
