Over 6,500 Pilgrims Rescued Near Kedarnath After Landslide Disrupts Trek Route
More than 6,500 pilgrims and 600 to 700 horses and mules were evacuated from a landslide-affected area near the Chirbasa helipad on the Kedarnath trek. The landslide on Sunday partially damaged the Gaurikund-Kedarnath route, making it inaccessible. A local person died after being struck by a boulder. Continuous stone falls delayed road restoration, but improved weather on Monday allowed phased guidance of pilgrims across the area. The Public Works Department has started clearing debris to restore the route.
