It is considered to be one of the most sacred places in our country, and developmental activities are much needed to provide the best of facilities to the pilgrims from across the country. With the concerted efforts of both Uttarakhand government and Oil and Gas PSUs, we are hopeful that the rejuvenation work of Badrinath Dham will be completed within a span of three-year time," the Chief Minister said.Speaking on the occasion, Pradhan said Char Dham is close to millions of Indians, due to spiritual, religious and cultural reasons."The Oil and Gas PSUs will not only contribute to the development work of the Badrinath but are also part of the development of Kedarnath, Uttarkashi, Yamunotri, and Gangotri. Today's event is a significant milestone in the direction of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision of developing the Badrinath shrine as a mini smart and spiritual city, without compromising on the religious sanctity and mythological importance of the region," he said."I am glad that Oil and Gas PSUs of this nation have come forward to realise the vision of developing Badrinath Dham into a 'Smart Spiritual Town.' Tourism is one of the key industries, which is playing a critical role in the development of the state. Development of the sites like Badrinath would also help in attracting more tourists, which in turn would strengthen the economy of the state," he added.( With inputs from ANI )Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
