There is still a week left for the Chardham Yatra to begin, but cyber thugs have already become active. Earlier, cyber thugs used to prey on pilgrims in the name of booking heli services, but now they have started trying to cheat in the name of hotel booking also. After such complaints, this year the police have closed seven fake websites created in the name of hotel booking and 12 fake websites created for heli service booking. Earlier last year, the police had closed 64 fake websites created in the name of heli service. This means that in the last one year, the police has closed 83 such fake websites. At the same time, to prevent incidents of fraud, the Internet Media Cell of the Police Department has also been fully activated before the Chardham Yatra.
This is the right website
SSP Ayush Aggarwal said that like the year 2023, this year also a contract for heli service booking has been signed with the Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) on behalf of the Uttarakhand Civil Aviation Development Authority (UCADA) of the Uttarakhand State Government. IRCTC has authorized its website https://www.heliyatra.irctc.co.in/ for booking of Chardham Heli service. In such a situation, pilgrims can book heli service for their journey through this. Heli service booking for Kedarnath is full till June.

For this, Gangotri Temple Committee is going to provide a room to the health team near the temple premises.
Many times pilgrims need first aid
The health department’s hospital operates during the Chardham Yatra near the VIP parking in Gangotri Dham. The distance of the temple from this hospital is about 800 meters. There is a long queue till the guest house of the Irrigation Department to have darshan in the temple. Apart from this, there is a huge crowd of devotees at the ghats also.
Many times, when pilgrims need first aid, they are taken to the hospital located near the VIP parking. Gangotri Temple Committee Secretary Suresh Semwal said that the temple committee has talked to the health department for this. This time a team from the health department will be present near the temple premises.
