Chardham Uttarakhand to bring strict laws against unauthorized religious trusts in names of Chardham

Chardham Uttarakhand to bring strict laws against unauthorized religious trusts in names of Chardham

The Uttarakhand Cabinet, convened under the chairmanship of Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami on Thursday (July 18), announced that the government will introduce strict laws to ensure that no trust, temple, or committee is formed in the name of Chardham and other major temples in Uttarakhand without proper authorization.

This decision comes amid recent controversy over a Shri Kedarnath Dham Delhi Trust's proposal to build a replica of Kedarnath temple in Burari, Delhi, with the foundation stone laid by Chief Minister Dhami. Since then, Dhami and the ruling BJP have faced criticism from the priests of Kedarnath Dham and the main opposition party, Congress.

Although the Chief Minister has issued a statement regarding the matter, the head of the temple building trust, Surinder Rautela, clarified that the government is not involved in the construction of the temple. He, further also added that the name of the 'Delhi Kedarnath temple' will be changed as sentiments are being hurt.

"If sentiments are being hurt by naming the temple to be built in Delhi as Kedarnath Temple, then the trust will change the name of the temple," Delhi Kedarnath Temle trust chief said.
