10 private helicopters operating out of Guptkashi in Uttarakhand are also helping in rescue efforts. But sources say re-fuelling of choppers has become a major problem and will worsen from Friday. Normally, fuel is carried to the helipad at Guptkashi by tankers, but with roads washed away, that is not possible now. The choppers have to fly to Dehra Dun to refuel, which takes 45 minutes, and then fly back to Guptkashi, which means they have fuel to fly only for about an hour. Ustaaad ke pattey hain hum ! | ||

Nearly 14,000 people are believed to be missing in flood-ravaged Uttarakhand and another 60,000 continue to be stranded. While more than 150 people are reported dead so far from the "Himalayan Tsunami" in the state, officials say the death toll could be in the thousands. Ustaaad ke pattey hain hum ! | ||

Yesterday, almost everyone from Kedarnath town - the epicenter of the devastation - was rescued. 17 more bodies were recovered from the holy town that now cannot be accessed by roads. The Kedarnath temple is submerged in slush and mud, but is not damaged. But as roads around it have caved in, some temple officials say they don't expect the pilgrimage to the shrine to resume for three years. http://www.ndtv.com/article/india/no-kedarnath-badrinath-pil grimage-for-three-years-says-official-382225 Ustaaad ke pattey hain hum ! |
