Dehradun, May 21: Joint rescue teams safely evacuated 10,450 pilgrims stranded on the Kedarnath route in Uttarakhand\u2019s Rudraprayag following a sudden landslide at Munkatiya, officials said on Thursday.
\nAccording to the officials, the landslide occurred between Sonprayag and Gaurikund on Tuesday late night after heavy rainfall in the region. The debris blocked the main highway and trapped a large number of pilgrims.
\nContinuous rockfalls, heavy rainfall, darkness, and challenging mountainous terrain created a highly difficult situation for the stranded travellers.The District Control Room (DCR) Rudraprayag alerted the State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) at 9.16 pm. A rescue team from Sonprayag immediately rushed to the spot with the necessary equipment.
\nThe SDRF and the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) then launched a joint relief and rescue operation.
\nThe joint teams guided the 10,450 stranded pilgrims across the affected stretch. The rescue personnel motivated the pilgrims amid continuous rainfall and low visibility.
\nThe teams shifted the evacuated pilgrims to designated safe locations.
\nOfficials deployed JCB machines to clear the accumulated debris after completing the rescue operations.
\nThe authorities restored the highway and resumed normal vehicular movement shortly after.
\nSDRF Commandant Arpan Yaduvanshi said the teams stationed along the pilgrimage route maintained high alertness.
\nYaduvanshi added that this advance deployment facilitated a quick response and effective coordination.
\nWorkers cleared the debris, and the blockage was removed, and the stranded vehicles left the area, the official added.<\/p>\n
