Chamoli administration blames Army for Badrinath festival coordination, but its own orders contradict claim

The Chamoli district administration has attributed responsibility to the Army for the Badrinath festival arrangements, according to an exclusive report. However, internal administrative orders obtained show that the district administration itself coordinated key aspects of the event.

The contradiction raises questions about accountability and clarity in administrative communication regarding the festival's organisation. The incident highlights potential gaps between public statements and documented administrative actions in the district.
