A helicopter carrying seven people, including the pilot, made an emergency landing in Uttarakhand's Kedarnath early on Friday due to a technical snag. The helicopter landed a few meters from the helipad near the Himalayan temple, according to an official. All seven individuals on board, including the pilot, are safe, the official confirmed.
Earlier on May 22, Uttarakhand Police lodged nine FIRs against tour and travel operators in Rishikesh and Haridwar for issuing fake registration documents to pilgrims bound for Kedarnath. The FIRs were lodged at Rudraprayag Kotwali, a senior police official said. "We have gathered details about the tour and travel operators who forged the dates and names of pilgrims in the registration documents and presented them as genuine. They are based in Haridwar and Rishikesh. Stern action will soon be taken against all of them," Rudraprayag Superintendent of Police Vishakha Ashok Bhadane said.
