Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday offered prayers at the Kedarnath shrine in Rudraprayag district of Uttarakhand. The Prime Minister was accompanied by Uttarakhand Governor K.K. Paul and Chief Minister Trivendra Singh Rawat.

In his speech, the Prime Minister said his visit to Kedarnath renews his commitment to serve the nation. He added that reconstruction of Kedarpuri, with improved facilities for devotees, will be expensive but there will be no dearth of funds.
