Kedarnath Dham yatra suspended after landslides damage trek route

Officials from the Emergency Operations Centre in Rudraprayag issued an urgent alert, confirming that the route had been rendered unsafe due to debris and boulder falls triggered by a seasonal stream (gadera). According to Vinay Jhinkwan, Executive Engineer of Public Works Department (PWD), Guptkashi, the landslides led to the accumulation of mud and boulders on the path. The trek route was temporarily closed to ensure the safety of pilgrims who had already set out and those on the pedestrian trail.

Helicopter services on the Chardham yatra route were suspended for two days on Sunday in the wake of the crash of a chopper returning from Kedarnath. Seven people, including the pilot, were killed in the helicopter crash on Sunday (June 15, 2025) morning. Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami, who held an emergency meeting with senior officials to discuss the situation, said helicopter services will remain suspended for two days as the weather is bad and the safety of passengers is the state government's top priority. He also told officials at the meeting to issue a strict SOP for helicopter operations in the State and set up a control and command centre in Dehradun besides taking action against those responsible for the crash. 'There should not be any laxity regarding compliance with DGCA norms in helicopter operations in the state. It should also be ensured that the pilots flying in the upper Himalayan region are experienced,' Mr. Dhami said after the emergency meeting. Chief Secretary Anand Bardhan, Tourism and Civil Aviation Secretary Sachin Kurve, Disaster Secretary Vinod Kumar Suman, UCADA (Uttarakhand Civil Aviation Development Authority) and DGCA officials attended the meeting held via video conferencing.

'The weather is also bad and the safety of pilgrims is paramount. There will be no heli services today and tomorrow. Aviation companies, DGCA and UCADA have been asked to review the situation thoroughly before resuming heli operations,' he said.
