Uttarakhand Considers Mandatory Registration and Visitor Limits at Kainchi Dham
Following a surge of over 50,000 devotees visiting Kainchi Dham in Uttarakhand over a recent weekend, authorities are considering new crowd-management measures. Proposals include mandatory advance registration and a daily visitor limit of 20,000 to 25,000 to better manage traffic, parking, security, and infrastructure strain. The District Magistrate and Senior Superintendent of Police will submit recommendations to the state government, with final approval pending. Similar measures are being considered at other popular destinations to prevent overcrowding and protect local environments.
