Prime Minister Modi will be the first among the Indian prime ministers to have visited the kedarnath dham twice within a single season. He had visited the dham last on 3rd May this year; i.e. the date on which the doors of Kedarnath temple were thrown open for pilgrims this yatra season and again he is to visit the temple on its closing date; i.e. 20th October.
All those projects for which PM Modi will lay the foundation stone on 20th October are likely to be completed by October 2018. It has been said that in the coming year the opening as well as inauguration of Kedarpuri coming under Mission 2019 will be done by PM Modi only.
 
It has been learnt that nearly 2 months back at a conference held at Delhi, discussion on Kedarpuri as well as subsequent planning were undertaken. The conference was attended by Prime Minister Modi, BJP National President Amit Shah, Nim Principal Col Ajay Kothiyal, DM Rudraprayag Mangesh Ghildiyal and Jindal Group.
No written official order has yet been received on the Prime minister’s Kedarnath tour. But in spite of that all preparations for this tour have been initiated at the administrative as well as police levels.
