Kedarnath trek landslide: 7,350 pilgrims evacuated from affected route; rescue operation continues

Kedarnath trek route landslide: More than 7,350 pilgrims have been safely evacuated from the Kedarnath trek route after landslides disrupted the pilgrimage. Rescue teams brought another 150 people to safety on Tuesday morning. The pilgrimage was halted two days ago after falling boulders, stones and debris damaged the route near the Chirbasa helipad. Repair and debris-clearance work is underway to reopen the damaged stretch. Pilgrims have been advised to remain patient and wait until the route is fully restored and declared safe.
