Kedarnath Construction

The Shri Kedarnath Utthan Charitable Trust (SKUCT) has allocated Rs 120 crores for the construction work in the temple premises.

As portals of Kedarnath in Uttarakhand closed for pilgrims for the winter with the drop in mercury on November 13, the region is still buzzing with reconstruction activity at the heart of which is a daring helicopter crew lifting loads up to 600 kg at an altitude of 11,600 feet.

Bad weather today stalled operations to clear debris by a 61-member team at Kedarnath and construction of a pedestrian route from Rambada to the Himalayan shrine even as attempts were on to transport relief to calamity-hit areas in Rudraprayag, Chamoli and Uttarkashi.
