Dhami noted the rising demand for local products during the pilgrimage, emphasizing the government's commitment to promoting goods made by women.

On a recent inspection visit directed by CM Dhami, District In-charge Char Dham Yatra Secretary R Rajesh Kumar assessed the projects in Kedar Valley, which had experienced heavy rains. He was accompanied by relevant officials as they inspected the Rudraprayag-Gaurikund National Highway and urged for expedited work on repairs.

Kumar reviewed efforts by the National Highway Division of PWD and the Irrigation Department to fix damaged roads, giving special attention to sections from Km 72 to Km 75 of the highway. He called for quick completion of the repairs with earth movers deployed for the task.
