A tragic helicopter crash near the Kedarnath shrine in Uttarakhand on Sunday morning, June 15, claimed the lives of all seven people on board, including six pilgrims and the pilot. The incident occurred around 5:30 AM, shortly after the chopper took off from Kedarnath en route to Guptkashi. The helicopter, operated by Aryan Aviation Pvt Ltd, went down in the dense forests above Gaurikund, reportedly due to poor visibility and inclement weather. The aircraft subsequently caught fire after impact. According to Rudraprayag District Disaster Management Officer Nandan Singh Rajwar, the crash site is situated between Gaurikund and Trijuginarayan in the Kedarghati region. Sonika, CEO of the Uttarakhand Civil Aviation Development Authority (UCADA), confirmed that the helicopter had gone off the radar shortly after departure, and later reports confirmed it had crashed. Teams from State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) and National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) were promptly dispatched and are currently engaged in challenging rescue and recovery operations due to the rugged and forested terrain. The deceased included five adult pilgrims, a 23-month-old child, and pilot Rajeev, said Rahul Chaubey, Nodal Officer for Heli/Tourism. He added that the pilot attempted to divert the helicopter from the valley but was unsuccessful due to the extreme weather conditions. #helicopter #kedarnath #theassamtribune @NDRFHQ
