Before the start of char dham yatra, disaster struck the pilgrimage route to Kedarnath as a glacier broke off on the road following heavy snowfall. The bad weather condition continuing for days has worsened the situation. The administrations in the mountain districts of the state are worried as rains and snowfall have been continuing unabated. The pilgrimage route to Kedarnath has seen the greatest damage. It is learnt that due to continuous snowfall, a glacier at Bhairav Gadera beside Kedarnath dham broke off on the pilgrimage route. With this incident, the administration, engaged in making preparations for the ensuing pilgrimage, has been facing problems. Works have stopped. Notably, the portals of Kedarnath are scheduled to open on April 25.
