About 1,500 Pilgrims Rescued After Landslide Blocks Kedarnath Trek Route
Around 1,500 pilgrims stranded near Chirbasa on the Kedarnath trek route due to a landslide were safely rescued by joint teams of the State, National, and District Disaster Response Forces. The rescue operation, led by Sub-Inspector Ashish Dimri, faced challenges from continuous rockfalls and debris blocking the path. The Char Dham Yatra remained suspended for the second day amid heavy rains causing multiple landslides and traffic disruptions. Tragically, a five-year-old boy died after being struck by falling rocks near Chirbasa during the incident.
