PM Narendra Modi reviews Kedarnath development and reconstruction project.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently conducted a review of the Kedarnath Math development and reconstruction project with the Uttarakhand state government via video conferencing.

Laying out his vision for the reconstruction of the shrine, the Prime Minister said that the state government should envision and design development projects for holy sites like Kedarnath and Badrinath in a way and manner that stands the test of time and is yet eco-friendly and in harmony with nature and its surroundings.

Keeping in mind the present situation due to coronavirus and comparatively lean pressure in terms of tourists and pilgrims to the holy sites, Prime Minister Modi suggested that the present construction season could be utilised for completing pending works by proper distribution of labour pools, keeping in mind the norms of social distancing.

"This will help to create facilities and infrastructure to better sustain tourism flows in the years to come," he said according to a release by the PMO.
