A check post of Ecological Development Council (EDC) of Bhyundar region. This NGO has taken initiative to maintain the ecological balance of the region in view of lakhs of tourists visiting region every year. A specific effort worth mentioning is the employment of four cosmetic maintenance workers (sweepers) all along the road (2 persons per km along the Govind Ghat - Hemkund route : 19km). They sweep the dung dropped by mules, pick up plastic discarded by the visitors. It has placed dustbins along the path. Non-bio-degradable waste is collected in bags for proper disposal.
