Part Of 2 Glaciers Break Away Again, Fall On Kedarnath Trek Route
The trek route to Kedarnath temple was closed again after a part of two glaciers broke and slid down from the mountain, blocking the route again.
This is the second incident since yesterday when part of the Bhairvi and Kuber glaciers broke and fell on the trekking route. Yesterday, the snow from the glacier slid down about 5 km below the temple, and the pilgrimage was put on hold to clear snow from the area.
The glacier broke again today in the afternoon, completely blocking the route.
"We appeal to the pilgrims to not trek to the Kedarnath temple until the route is clear and stay at a safe place," District Officer Mayur Dikshit said.
The National Disaster Response Force (NDRF), State Disaster Response Force (SDRF), the police, and other rescue teams have been deployed on the glaciers for rescue efforts and are told to ensure their safety as well, the officer said.
Pilgrims can still avail of helicopter services to the Kedarnath temple, the officer added.
