Kedarnath Yatra has been suspended
DEHRADUN, August 2, 2024 (TBINN)
Fourteen people died and 10 more were injured in heavy overnight rains that triggered flooding and a house collapse as several rivers swelled in Uttarakhand, officials said here.
Officials informed that Kedarnath Yatra was suspended amid the inclement weather conditions as heavy downpour triggered land-slides at many places. The trek route remains blocked by boulders at Ghoraparav, Lincholi, Badi Lincholi and Bhimbali.
In an official statement, Uttarakhand Government said the Centre has dispatched two Indian Air Force helicopters, a Chinook and MI 17, to aid rescue operations in the state in the wake of intense showers.
