Incessant snowfall since Monday night in Uttarakhand's Kedarnath and Badrinath, coupled with rains and landslide in Lambagad, disrupted pilgrimage to the Himalayan shrines, with the authorities preventing devotees from moving beyond Linchauli and Bhimbali.
Over 400 pilgrims are still stranded at the shrine. The pilgrims were asked to stay put at Linchauli and Bhimbali till the weather clears up. Ten members of a family from Visakha are among the stranded pilgrims. Delhi Andhra Pradesh (AP) Bhavan addl. commissioner, R.J. Srikanth and TDP Parliamentary Official Secretary, Naukada Satyanarayana, are monitoring the situation.
