Rescue Operations Continue for Eight Missing Trekkers After Uttarakhand Avalanche
Eight people, including seven trekkers and a guide, went missing after an avalanche disrupted their Kedartal trek in Uttarakhand's Uttarkashi district. The group of 13 set out from Gangotri on October 27 and was due to return on October 29 but was delayed by heavy snowfall and blocked routes. Rescue operations involving the SDRF, NIM, and NDRF have recovered tents and belongings but no individuals. Efforts have been hampered by adverse weather, with searches suspended and resumed as conditions allow. Authorities have halted permits for high-altitude treks until weather improves.
