Dehra Dun, June 04: The helicopter service to the
Kedarnath shrine remained suspended for the second consecutive
day today due to raging fires in the jungles of Rudraprayag,
an official said.
Thick smoke was billowing from Augustmuni and Ukhimuth
areas in the district creating poor visibility thereby forcing
Pawan Hans to cancel all its four flights, Ashok Kumar, area
manager of the company told a news agency.
The helicopter service was started on May 16 to avoid a
14 kilometre trek to the hill shrine.
