On Sunday morning, there was a significant accident on the walking route between Gaurikund and Kedarnath. Abruptly, a massive pile of rubble and stones tumbled down from the slope close to Chirbasa.
According to District Disaster Management Officer Nandan Singh Rajwar, five pilgrims were hurt and three pilgrims lost their lives during the yatra. Two pilgrims from Maharashtra are reportedly among the injured, with the others being locals. For treatment, the injured have been taken to Gaurikund Hospital.
The information indicates that the incident occurred at 7:30 in the morning. The police administration team arrived at the scene as soon as they learned of the collision. Rescue and relief efforts are ongoing.
Kishore Arun Parate (31), of Nagpur, Maharashtra; Sunil Mahadev Kale (24), of Jalna, Maharashtra; Anurag Bisht, of Tilwara, Rudraprayag, have been named as the fatalities in the accident.
The 16-kilometer Gaurikund-Kedarnath walking route in Kedarnath is always in danger of landslides. Every rainy season, landslides occur in the Cheerbasa area as a result of stones falling from the slope. A avalanche from this slope claimed the life of a person last year as well.
CM Dhami expressed grief
CM Dhami expressed grief over the accident on the Kedarnath Yatra route. He posted on social media and wrote, ‘The news of some passengers being injured due to debris and heavy stones falling from the hill is very sad. Relief and rescue work is going on at the spot, I am in constant touch with the officials in this regard.
Instructions have been given to provide better treatment to the people injured in the accident immediately. May God give place to the souls of the departed at His feet and give strength to the bereaved family to bear this immense sorrow.’
