WHAT THEY'RE SAYING

Heavy rain had brought the Char Dham pilgrimage in Uttarakhand to a halt, yet the weather has since cleared enough for the yatras to resume. Communicators tracking the situation noted that conditions improved after the intense downpours, allowing pilgrims to return to routes that include Hemkund Sahib. Their updates confirm that the pause was tied directly to the rainfall and ended once skies cleared.
