DEHRADUN: In a very first such initiative, the Uttarakhand federal government has tied up with Google Maps and Mappls apps in a quote to give Char Dham pilgrims a problem-free journey by supplying them with info about road closures and diversions on their paths.
During the peak yatra season, accidents, landslides, debris and bad weather condition frequently lead to the closure of roads and diversions.
The Uttarakhand traffic directorate had recently held a meeting with the Google team to go over the issue, officials said, adding that a demonstration was subsequently given to show the working of the technology.
The reason we chose this is to ensure that info about roadway closure and diversion reaches pilgrims in time so that they can take detours, traffic director Mukhtar Mohsin said.
In the previous couple of years, a great deal of travelers have begun choosing to drive themselves or work with cabs to Badrinath, Gangotri shrines or the starting points of Yamunotri and Kedarnath travels.
While Google usually utilizes AI to update details, we will straight add the information on the app, including an alternative route, that will reflect on its map, he included.
