The Uttarakhand government on Friday decided to resume offline registration for the Chardham Yatra from Haridwar and Rishikesh from June 1.

Under this, offline registration of 1500 devotees each will be done from Haridwar and Rishikesh from Saturday and after that the pilgrims can go to the shrines.
