Uttarakhand: 7 dead In helicopter crash near Kedarnath

In Uttakhand, a helicopter crashed Sunday morning in the hilly region of Gaurikund Khark in the Kedarnath area, resulting in the death of all seven people onboard, including six pilgrims and the pilot. The helicopter was en route from Kedarnath to Guptkashi. As soon as the incident was reported, rescue teams were dispatched to the site, and relief and rescue operations were launched. The SDRF stated that the crashed helicopter was completely burnt and all bodies have been recovered. Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami has expressed deep sorrow over this tragic accident. Following the crash, helicopter services operating in the Char Dham region have been suspended until further notice. The decision was jointly taken by UCADA (Uttarakhand Civil Aviation Development Authority) and DGCA (Directorate General of Civil Aviation).

The chopper took off at 05:17 am to Guptkashi and was returning from Kedarnath after picking up passengers when it went off course due to poor weather conditions in the Kedarnath valley. Officials confirmed that the weather in the region was severely bad, which reportedly caused the helicopter to lose its way.
