GANGOTRI, Uttarakhand: The annual Chardham Yatra to Kedarnath, Badrinath, Gangotri, Yamunotri and Hemkund Sahib which was hindered due to landslide near the Uttarkashi-Gangotri Marg resumed on Monday.
Incessant overnight rains at many places in Uttarakhand affected the Chardham Yatra with pilgrimage to the Himalayan shrines of Kedarnath and Badrinath being intermittently interrupted since June 25. Yatra to Kedarnath had been halted due to incessant overnight rains lashing Rudraprayag district and a MeT department warning predicting heavy rains and moderate landslides at isolated places in the high altitude districts.
Temporary suspensions such as these are a routine thing en route to the Himalayan shrine as weather in the area keeps changing quickly
