Badrinath and Mana will soon Modern Toilet

New washrooms have been erected via Sulabh International Company in Badrinath. This is a huge project that aims to change the face of sanitation in Badrinath. Work has already been started by Sulabh towards this end.

Apart from Bamani Village, new washrooms have also been erected in the last village called Mana. The local authorities have entrusted Sulabh company to build washrooms at different points in the Yatra route as well as the Char Dhams. In Badrinath there is already a good arrangement of washrooms and public toilets. However, water supply issues are the reason behind most of the nonfunctional washrooms.

BRO places a challenge to repair the badly broken down highway in the Char Dham Area. The road repair committee of Rishikesh Badrinath had been facing a lot of issues regarding the delayed repair of roads on Badrinath Rishikesh highway. Earlier the part of highway which fell in Chamoli district was the biggest challenge. However this year the Kanchenjungha glaciers and HathiPahad Slide Zones have increased the difficulty even more. The BRO is working overtime to tackle these issues but till now have only met with meager success.

Apart from local Uttarakhand authorities, the national government is also exerting a lot of effort in this direction. The Rishikesh Badrinath Rajmarga is the only route for travel to Badrinath Dham. Every year during the char dham season the highway becomes a challenge for the BRO. The dangerous Lambargh landslide which happened in Chamoli district is a major issue for the BRO and border protection authorities. Every other day there is a rubble accumulation, stone block or landslide issue in the area and this harasses pilgrims. However, this year the Kanchenjungha glaciers and HathiPahad Slide Zones have increased the difficulty of the government even more.
