Search Continues for Eight Missing Trekkers in Uttarakhand's Kedartal Region
A group of 13 people, including seven trekkers and six support staff, set out from Gangotri on October 27 for the Kedartal trek but were delayed by heavy snowfall and avalanche conditions. Eight trekkers remain missing near Kedartal at around 4,000 meters altitude, while four support staff returned safely. Search and rescue operations by the SDRF, NDRF, and other agencies involve ground teams and aerial reconnaissance, but no signs of the missing have been found. Efforts continue as weather permits, with plans for helicopter evacuation under consideration.
