Kedarnath Yatra resumes after landslide blocks trek route; IMD issues alert

The Kedarnath Yatra, a major pilgrimage in Uttarakhand, resumed on Friday after being suspended for over five hours due to a rain-triggered landslide near the Chirbasa helipad. The incident occurred around 6:30 am when boulders crashed onto the pedestrian trail, blocking the route. Authorities cleared the path by 1 pm, allowing foot pilgrims to continue, though mule and horse services remained suspended. Another landslide near Gaurikund prompted temporary halts, but the route was quickly reopened. Vehicular movement on the Yamunotri Highway was restored after debris removal. Officials noted 49 roads remained closed across Uttarakhand, with the IMD issuing an orange alert for heavy rainfall expected on Saturday.

Bias read (Center): The article presents factual updates on natural disasters affecting infrastructure and pilgrimage routes without overt ideological framing. It reports on technical responses from authorities like the PWD and IMD, focusing on logistics and safety rather than political agendas. There is no evident sl抗
