Bouts of heavy snowfall and continuing adverse weather conditions have put a question mark on the yatra to the Kedarnath shrine, portals of which are going to open for pilgrims early morning on Tuesday.
Even as the shrine town and the yatra’s trek route was covered in a blanket of snow due to intermittent snowfall over the past three days, the Defence Geoinformatics Research Establishment, Chandigarh, on Monday issued a fresh yellow warning of avalanche for Chamoli (the district where Badrinath is located), Rudraprayag (district housing Kedarnath) and Uttarkashi (where the Yamunotri & Gangotri shrines are situated).
