The Supreme Court on Tuesday allowed the defence ministry to widen the roads for the Centre’s 899-km Char Dham project in Uttarakhand, Live Law reported.

The Char Dham project, worth Rs 12,000 crore, is being developed to provide all-weather connectivity to all the four religious places – Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath and Badrinath – in Uttarakhand.

A bench of Justices DY Chandrachud, Surya Kant and Vikram Nath was hearing a plea filed by the Union Ministry of Defence seeking a modification of the court’s order passed in September 2020.
