Uttarakhand Rescues Over 1,500 Pilgrims and Dozens of Trekkers Amid Harsh Weather
Heavy rains and snowfall in Uttarakhand's high-altitude areas stranded around 180 trekkers across Uttarkashi and Bageshwar districts. Rescue operations by the State Disaster Response Force (SDRF), National Disaster Response Force (NDRF), and local authorities safely evacuated over 1,500 pilgrims from the Kedarnath route and airlifted dozens of stranded trekkers from locations including Kalindi Khal, Mount Jogin, and Vasuki Tal. Operations faced challenges due to adverse weather but continued as conditions improved, with all rescued individuals reported in stable health.
