Char Dham Yatra 2025 Under Surveillance: 6,000 Cops, Drones & Secret Teams Deployed

Char Dham Yatra 2025 is facing heightened security with 6,000 police officers, drones, and secret teams in place due to India-Pakistan tensions.

Char Dham Yatra has officially begun—but this year, it comes with not just spiritual excitement, but also a strong wave of vigilance and responsibility. Due to rising India-Pakistan tensions, the Uttarakhand government has increased security for pilgrims. Over 6,000 police officers, drones, anti-terror squads, and undercover teams have been deployed. These measures cover all four sacred dhams: Kedarnath, Badrinath, Gangotri, and Yamunotri.

Following India's strategic action across the border in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, intelligence agencies have issued alerts about possible threats at religious gatherings. The Char Dham Yatra 2025, with lakhs of devotees visiting remote Himalayan shrines, is under high watch.

The Helicopter Tragedy That Shook Us

On May 8, 2025, a private helicopter heading to Gangotri Dham crashed near the Bhagirathi River in Uttarkashi. Sadly, six people died, including five women pilgrims and a senior pilot. One person was seriously injured.

 In the wake of this, all helicopter services for the yatra, especially to Kedarnath, have been suspended until further notice.
