Kedarnath Yatra : Kedarghati has become lively once again after the weather cleared. The pilgrimage to Kedarnath Dham has begun from Sonprayag. The pilgrimage was halted for so many days due to bad weather and heavy rain. Recently, due to bad weather, a landslide occurred on the way between Sonprayag and Gaurikund, due to which the pilgrimage was halted. But now, after the weather cleared, from 10 am onwards, in the presence of NDRF jawans, devotees were sent to Baba’s Dham from Sonprayag. At the same time, light rain continued throughout the night from Rudraprayag to Kedarnath.
