Kedarnath Trek Suspended Due to Rain and Landslides; Security Increased for Yatra
The Kedarnath trek has been suspended due to continuous rain and landslides blocking the route near Chirbasa Helipad with debris and falling stones. Authorities have stopped pilgrims at Sonprayag and Gaurikund for safety and advised against proceeding until the path is cleared. Security has been increased for the second phase of the Kedarnath Yatra, with over 1.4 million pilgrims having visited so far. Efforts to clear the route are ongoing but hindered by weather conditions.
