After the closure of the doors of Kedarnath and Badrinath, Indian Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) has been deployed for security in both the shrines.

One platoon each of ITBP jawans has been deployed in both the shrines. Last year, in view of the movement of people due to the gold plating of the sanctum sanctorum of Shri Kedarnath Dham and the ongoing large-scale reconstruction works under the master plan at both shrines, Shri Badrinath-Kedarnath Temple Committee (BKTC) requested the government to make security arrangements.

In view of the difficult geographical conditions of the shrines, the committee had demanded deployment of ITBP contingents. Taking action on this, the state government had requested the Union Home Ministry for deployment of ITBP. On the request of the state government, the Union Home Ministry had handed over the responsibility of security of the shrines during winter season to ITBP personnel since last year.

After the doors were closed again this year, the state government had requested for deployment of ITBP in both the shrines.
