The state government has rushed more than 500 personnel of the recently raised State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) to take up the massive task of clearing snow on the highway to Badrinath and on the tracks near Kedarnath.
Confirming the Rishikesh-Badrinath highway blockage, executive director, Uttarakhand Disaster Mitigation Centre, Piyush Rautela said: "The snow has blocked the highway three kilometers ahead of Badrinath. It is a small stretch and the work of clearing the snow is going on. It would be clear for vehicles soon if the weather normalizes." He said the stretch would be cleared before the Char Dham yatra.
The state government is regularly monitoring the weather forecast and planning out reinforcement of personnel to expedite the work of clearing the snow and repairing the road.
The work has been carried out by the BRO and PWD in Uttarakhand. State government sources said if inclement weather continues for another two weeks, it would impact the yatra. "At present, we are expecting to complete the work before the end of April but if more snowfall and rain happens, it would be create a lot of problems," said a senior official.
