The state government should seek adequate funds to hold the prestigious event in which people from all over the world participate, BJP national spokesman Tarun Vijay told reporters here.
Held once every 12 years, the yatra involving an arduous three-week trek around Mt Nanda devi in Chamoli district, will be inaugurated this time by senior BJP leader Sushma Swaraj, he said.
