Heavy Rain and Snow Suspend Uttarakhand Pilgrimages, Cause Road Blockages
Heavy rainfall and snowfall in Uttarakhand have led to the suspension of the Char Dham Yatra and Hemkund Sahib pilgrimage for consecutive days. The adverse weather caused landslides, road blockages on the Badrinath-Rishikesh highway, and stranded hundreds of travelers, including mountaineers. Authorities issued red and orange alerts across several districts, urging pilgrims to stay safe and postpone travel. Two rain-related deaths were reported, and rescue efforts, including helicopter airlifts, are ongoing amid continuous monitoring of river levels and weather conditions.
