Dehradun, Aug 3 (PTI) The yatra to Himalayan shrine of Kedarnath in Rudraprayag district remained suspended for sixth consecutive day today due to the ongoing repair work on the 14-km long trek route damaged by the landslides. Official sources said the yatra is disrupted as the repair work on the damaged Gaurikund-Kedarnath trek is still going on. The PWD is making efforts to resume the movement of pilgrims on trek which is blocked since Friday when landslides hit the trek damaging it. However, they said, it might take a couple of days more to make the trek fit for movement of pilgrims. The alternative trek route to Kedarnath is very narrow making it dangerous for pilgrims to use it, they added. Kedarnath, which is among the four Himalayan shrines collectively known as Chardham, is situated at a height of 3581 meter in Garhwal Himalayas. The shrine is dedicated to Lord Shiva.
