Uttarkashi helicopter crash: Chopper hit overhead cable while trying to land, says report
The helicopter that crashed in Uttarkhand's Uttarkashi district on May 8 struck an overhead fibre cable with its main rotor blade while attempting to land, the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau said on Saturday, The New Indian Express reported. In its preliminary report, the division of the Ministry of Civil Aviation that investigates such accidents said that the 'aircraft failed to land and subsequently tumbled down the hillside, eventually coming to rest against a tree roughly 250 feet into a gorge'. Six persons, including the pilot, were killed and one injured after the helicopter crashed near Gangnani in Uttarkashi on May 8. The helicopter, belonging to AeroTrans Services Private Limited, had taken off from a helipad in Dehradun and was heading to the Gangotri Dham of the Char Dham Yatra circuit. The circuit is a Hindu pilgrimage to the four shrines of Kedarnath, Badrinath, Gangotri and Yamunotri, all of which are in Uttarakhand. The Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau, in its report, said that the helicopter lifted off from the Kharsali airpad at 8.11 am and the accident happened at 8.35 am in Gangnani, PTI reported. The helicopter was destroyed in the crash, but there was no fire, it added. The helicopter flew for 20 minutes before descending from its assigned altitude, the report said. 'Initially, the pilot attempted to land on the Uttarkashi-Gangotri Road (NH 34) near Gangnani in Uttarkashi,' the news agency quoted the report as saying. 'During the landing attempt, the helicopter's main rotor blade struck an overhead fibre cable running parallel to the road.' The report said that this caused the aircraft to lose control and plunge into a gorge. The helicopter, which was powered by an engine built by Rolls Royce, was manufactured in 2008. The Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau also said the United States' National Transportation Safety Board and Canada's Transportation Safety Board have appointed official representatives and technical advisors to assist with the investigation. 'The investigation team is working closely with them to decide the next steps needed to find the exact cause of the crash,' the report said. 'Records obtained from various stakeholders are currently being scrutinised.' The report comes amid mounting safety concerns about such helicopter accidents in the state. On June 15, seven persons died in Rudraprayag district after a helicopter carrying pilgrims taking part in the Char Dham Yatra crashed near the Gaurikund area. This was the fifth helicopter accident in Uttarakhand in about 40 days. In the wake of the accidents, Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami has formed a high-level committee chaired by Home Secretary Shailesh Bagauli to draft a standard operating procedure for helicopter services in the state.

Restoration work at Srinagar's Vachar Nag Temple begins
Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) Chief Secretary Atal Dullu and Srinagar Deputy Commissioner Akshay Labroo on Saturday (July 19, 2025) initiated the restoration and rebuilding work at the historically revered Vachar Nag Temple in Srinagar. The temple was abandoned in the 1990s when Kashmiri Pandits left the Valley in the wake of rising militancy in the Kashmir valley. The Chief Secretary, while reviewing different project components at the site, directed the officers to execute the work at a fast pace, strictly adhering to the set timelines and quality standards as envisioned under the project guidelines. He emphasised that the work was aimed at restoring the temple's centuries-old past glory and preserving its cultural and architectural legacy. Mr. Dullu said the temple held significant historical, cultural and religious importance, reflecting Kashmir's diverse cultural society. He said the renovation work would revive and preserve the temple's aesthetic, heritage and social values. The public, particularly members of the Pandit community from various parts of the country, participated in the event to initiate to restoration work and sought blessings from Shri Vachar Sahab. Earlier, the Chief Secretary was apprised that the work on the project is being executed by R&B Srinagar at a cost of ₹4.58 crore, which included conservation and restoration of the main temple structure, earth filling around the temple precincts to restore the site's original topography, construction of an entry gate to provide a formal and aesthetic look, construction of a toilet block, and desilting of the egress channel up to Gilsar Lake to be undertaken by the Irrigation and Flood Control Department. 'This restoration marks an important milestone in the preservation of Kashmir's rich religious and cultural heritage, and the community looks forward to the completion of the project with great reverence,' Amit Raina, a member of the Zaara Foundation, said. The Vishwa Hindu Samaj and the Zaara Foundation welcomed the beginning of the restoration and rebuilding work at the temple. Mr. Labroo, who has identified, revived and restored scores of temples as the Deputy Commissioner of Budgam before, personally toured the Vachar Nag temple and took stock of the work. Mr. Raina described the initiative as 'a significant step to revive an important spiritual and cultural landmark'. In 2024, former Haryana Governor Bandaru Dattatreya played a pivotal role in ensuring the start of the restoration efforts. He visited the temple site, once considered a hub of militancy in the old city of Srinagar. He had assured Hindu devotees of his commitment to support the temple's restoration. Meanwhile, Mr. Raina thanked J&K Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha for his personal interest and involvement in facilitating the grant necessary for the temple's renovation.
