Kanwar Yatra 2024: After the Kanwar Yatra started on July 22, Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh Police implemented the diversion plan in their respective states.
Given the increasing crowd of Kanwariyas, the NH-58 Dehradun-Delhi highway has been completely closed from Monday, July 29 to August 2. The roads on both sides of the highway have been reserved for Kanwariyas.
After the Kanwar Yatra started on July 22, Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh Police implemented the diversion plan in their respective states. From today, vehicles on the Dehradun-Delhi highway will only go through the diversion routes determined by the police.
In the pilgrimage town of Haridwar, about 1.25 crore Kanwariyas have left for their destinations, carrying Gangajal from Har Ki Pauri and other Ganga Ghats. The Kanwariyas, who are devotees of Shiva, bring Ganga water to their home towns to offer to the Lord Shiva each year.
