The Char Dham Yatra in Uttarakhand is suspended for two days as landslides and heavy rainfall block pilgrimage routes, according to reports. Both outlets say that road access to parts of the yatra corridor is disrupted at multiple locations, making travel unsafe for passengers. The disruptions include sections where landslides have obstructed the route and ongoing heavy rain continues to affect movement in the region.
In response, authorities stop the yatra to protect pilgrims and manage travel conditions amid the weather impact. The Hindu also notes that a heavy rainfall alert is issued by the weather department, indicating that conditions may remain hazardous over the suspension period. NDTV similarly attributes the halt to landslides and heavy rain that prevent yatra operations.
The suspension lasts for two days, after which the yatra is expected to resume once routes are cleared and authorities confirm safety conditions, though the reports do not specify an exact reopening time.
