He had a half-hour-long operation on his spinal cord, after which his legs stopped moving. I just want to request Lord Shiva to make him stand again on his foot for me, the way he stood before with me)." Sachin had been a dedicated Kanwariya. He had been walking the pilgrimage every year from the past 13 years. However, after his paralysis last year, he believed his spiritual journey had come to an end. But his wife, Asha, refused to let his tradition be broken. With immense love and devotion in her heart, she carried her paralysed husband on her back to complete the pilgrimage. Asha's strength and unwavering belief have become a symbol of true devotion this year. Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's. Please keep discussions respectful and constructive.

Uttarakhand Rains: Char Dham Yatra Suspended, Roads Blocked, Yellow Alert Issued
Last Updated: Uttarakhand Weather: The IMD has issued a yellow alert warning of heavy rain and thunderstorms accompanied by intense spells of rain likely to occur at isolated places. As rain batters Uttarakhand, CM Pushkar Dhami on Thursday announced that the Char Dham Yatra will temporary remain suspended. The Badrinath Highway is also blocked due to debris falling from the hill near Nandprayag and Bhanerpani. Heavy Rain Disrupts Life In Uttarakhand Due to continuous heavy downpour in the state, the Yamunotri Highway has remained closed for the past five days as debris has blocked the roads. As a result, nearly two dozen villages have lost connection with the tehsil and district headquarters. In the Uttarkashi district, roads and pedestrian paths in eight villages of the Sarbadiyar Patti region have been severely damaged, causing major inconvenience to the residents. Meanwhile, in Rishikesh, efforts are underway to remove encroachments from roads in preparation for the upcoming Kawad Yatra. In Chamoli district, the Badrinath National Highway has been disrupted at three locations — Pipalkoti, Nandprayag, and Umatta — due to landslides. Work is currently in progress to clear the debris and restore traffic flow. The mountain regions have been experiencing continuous heavy rainfall since last night, worsening the situation further. Kedarnath Road Blocked On Thursday, the Uttarakhand government said that the road to Kedarnath was also blocked due to debris and stones falling in the Munkatia Sliding Zone under the Sonprayag area. 'The Yatra will resume once the road is cleared", Rudraprayag police said in their X post. The IMD has issued a yellow alert warning of heavy rain and thunderstorms accompanied by intense spells of rain likely to occur at isolated places from July 3 to July 7. Most areas in Pithoragarh and Bageshwar districts of Uttarakhand are likely to receive light to moderate rainfall accompanied by thunder and lightning, while several places in other districts may also witness similar conditions on July 4, as per IMD predictions. For July 5, IMD has predicted light to moderate rain with thunder in most parts of Dehradun, Pithoragarh, and Bageshwar districts. On July 6, light to moderate rainfall with thunder is expected in most areas of Dehradun, Tehri, Pauri, Nainital, Champawat, and Bageshwar, and in many places across other districts of the state. According to IMD, the weather will remain same on July 7 too with most areas in Dehradun, Tehri, Pauri, Nainital, and Bageshwar likely to receive light to moderate rain accompanied by thunder and lightning.
