IAF's Chinook and MI17 copters join rescue ops along pilgrimage route Villagers stay awake at hillocks fearing rain

- NARENDRA SETHI

AT least 18 people have been missing after a cloudburst and landslides along the Kedarnath pedestrian route late Wednesday night, state government sources said. Uttarakhand has broken its 58-year rainfall record, according to the Meteorological Centre.

The IAF's Chinook and MI17 helicopters joined the rescue operations on Friday to evacuate pilgrims still stranded on the trek route to Kedarnath. Drones are being pressed into service to assess the situation and plan steps after a landslide damaged a 2-km alternative rescue path on the Sonprayag-Gaurikund hill route.
