Rudraprayag authorities deploy officers and relief camps for Kedarnath Yatra, managing horse and mule operations to prevent injuries. Mandatory handlers, health checks for animals, and multiple safety measures ensure a smooth pilgrimage. Continuous monitoring and multi-layered police measures aim to enhance the pilgrim experience.

The Rudraprayag administration has taken proactive steps to ensure the safety and well-being of pilgrims traveling the Kedarnath Yatra route. To alleviate the challenges posed by the large number of horses and mules, all sector officers have been deployed and relief camps have been established.

District Magistrate Vishal Mishra emphasized the mandatory presence of a handler with each horse to prevent disorder and ensure traveler safety. Various medical relief points and seating arrangements are available along the route, while dedicated checkpoints monitor the health of the animals. Officers ensure compliance with these protocols to maintain order.
