A day before the closing of the Kedarnath shrine for winters, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath offered prayers at the shrine amid heavy snowfall on Monday.
Yogi also reviewed the ongoing construction work at Kedarnath Dham with his Uttarakhand counterpart Trivendra Singh Rawat and said that major disputes between the two neighbouring states had been resolved..
“There is no more property dispute between Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand. Most of the disputes have been resolved. There are one or two issues left which will also be resolved through dialogues,” Yogi said on Monday.
The chief minister further said that there was a dispute over Alaknanda Guest House in Haridwar that was pending in the Supreme Court.
“Both governments resolved it. UP has decided to hand it over to Uttarakhand and in turn, it will be given land on which a new guest house will be constructed. Work is going on in full swing for the construction of UP’s Tourism Rest House in Haridwar and it will be completed before Kumbh Mela,” he said.
Both the chief ministers reviewed construction work of Kedarnath Dham.
“The construction is being carried out under the direction of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Once completed, this area will be developed into a top religious tourism spot,” he said
