Dehradun, April 17 -- Uttarakhand government has prepared an extensive healthcare plan for the Char Dham Yatra beginning April 19, with the deployment of 414 paramedical personnel, 178 medical officers and 25 specialist doctors along the pilgrimage route. Officials said the initiative has been undertaken, with the aim of ensuring that the pilgrimage is safe, well-organised and medically secure for devotees. According to officials, the government has placed healthcare services at the centre of preparations this year, viewing the annual pilgrimage not merely as a religious event but as a sensitive and high-risk mission due to the difficult terrain and large number of pilgrims. The 47 permanent healthcare facilities located across the Char Dham districts,Rudraprayag, Chamoli and Uttarkashi,have been strengthened and upgraded, while 25 Medical Relief Posts have been made fully operational along the route. Officials said medical assistance will be available at key halt points and important locations along the yatra route....
