Apart from pilot Rajveer, Vikram Rawat, Treeth Singh, Rajkumar, Vinod, Shraddha and 10 years of amount were on the helicopter going from Kedarnath to Guptkashi. It is believed that the helicopter pilot had problems due to bad weather. The pilot tried to handle the helicopter, but failed. This caused the helicopter to come down and fell rapidly into the forest. However, only after investigation, more information will be available about the helicopter accident near Kedarnath. According to the information, there are strong winds around Kedarnath. Also, there is a mist here. In such a situation, the question is that when the weather was bad, why was the helicopter flight approved? Let us know that there have been helicopters on this route earlier too. This year is the fifth helicopter accident in the Char Dham Yatra.

Recently, a helicopter going to Kedarnath was landing on the road. The balance of a helicopter had deteriorated while landing on the Kedarnath helipad. Pilots and passengers narrowly survived in that accident. Videos of both incidents went viral on social media. There was no helicopter service for Kedarnath and other dhams, but the service was started in view of the convenience of the devotees. However, the helicopter service now seems to be a threat to the devotees.
