Requesting the citizens of India Modi said, “I want people of our nation to see the country. While I don’t have any objection to them travelling to foreign countries but they should also travel to see the different places in our country.”
Modi also spoke about his attachment to the holy shrine and said, “I have had a special relationship with Kedarnath. After the 2013 natural tragedy (Himalayan Tsunami), we have made a master-plan for the re-development for Kedarnath.”
Modi during his tour evaluated the evolution of the shrine and the reconstruction works at the Kedarnath. After lunch, at around 2 pm, Modi directed to the ‘meditation cave’. Located along the banks of the Mandakini River, the 10 ft-by-6 ft cave was built last year to shelter a maximum of two persons seeking to meditate on Kedarnath premises. Modi had last tour in Kedarnath in November 2018.
