Uttarkashi: All 19 Trekkers stranded at Kalindi Khal Trek safely rescued
- On Tuesday, joint teams safely evacuated all 19 trekkers stranded in the Kalindi Khal region of Uttarkashi district, concluding a high-altitude rescue operation despite challenging weather conditions and difficult terrain.

- Dr. Shivanand, an associate professor from Mysuru, reported that snowfall continued for up to 70 hours, depleting LPG supplies before the Indian Army and Uttarakhand State Disaster Response Force intervened.
- Meanwhile, joint agencies rescued around 1,500 pilgrims stranded near Chirbasa on the Kedarnath route late Sunday, escorting them safely to Gaurikund after a landslide blocked the passage.
- Successful evacuations concluded both operations, with Additional District Magistrate Mukta Mishra coordinating final efforts at the Harsil helipad after weather conditions improved across the region.
