Rudraprayag (IANS) | After the continuous bad weather for the last few days, the weather has cleared in Kedarnath Dham today. After the continuous snowfall in Dham, the sun has blossomed today. After being closed for one day on Wednesday, the journey to Kedarnath Dham has resumed today. However, today the journey to Kedarnath Dham has opened late. Thousands of pilgrims waiting for the Yatra to open have been gradually sent to Kedarnath Dham from Sonprayag and Gaurikund after 10 am. Work is on to open the footpath damaged at Bhairav Gadere due to the breaking of the glacier on the Kedarnath Yatra route. On the other hand, the weather was clear in the lower areas including the Dham since morning, but due to the closure of the footpath, the passengers were sent to the Dham only after 10 o’clock. However, the line of passengers to go to Dham started at Sonprayag at 4 am itself. A limited number of pilgrims are being sent to Kedarnath, so that arrangements can be made on foot along with Dham.
Let us tell you that on May 3, a high alert was issued for snowfall in Kedarnath. There was a lot of snowfall in the Dham. Because of this, the Yatra to Kedarnath Dham had to be postponed on May 3. Due to excessive snowfall, the glacier broke about four km below the Dham on the Kedarnath walking route and the movement on the route was stopped. The work of opening the pedestrian route had started from 4 am itself. 50 to 60 laborers are engaged in the work of removing snow.
Actually, the road between Lincholi to Kedarnath was closed due to breaking of glacier at two places. At one place, the laborers have started the movement on foot. But due to heavy snowfall on Bhairon Gadere, the laborers have to work hard. The path is being made by the laborers by cutting the glacier. Now the pilgrims reaching Kedarnath Dham will have to pass through huge glaciers. They need to take special care while passing through here.
