Mussoorie, Aug. 3 -- The Kedarnath Yatra, which was temporarily suspended due to a massive landslide near Gaurikund, resumed on Saturday. The landslide, which struck late Tuesday evening between Sonprayag and Gaurikund, had blocked the route and halted the yatra for three days. Officials said the route has now been opened for foot pilgrims, though vehicular movement remains suspended. Pilgrims will have to trek an additional 6km, making the total journey to Kedarnath Dham about 22km. "Until the affected site is cleared for vehicles, pilgrims will have to undertake a 22 km trek. In case of rain, traffic will be temporarily halted to ensure safety," said Akshay Prahlad Kondey, superintendent of police, Rudraprayag.

On Sunday, isolated areas in Dehradun and Bageshwar are expected to receive heavy rain, while other districts including Uttarkashi, Rudraprayag, Tehri, Pauri, and Nainital are also likely to be affected. On Monday, weather conditions are expected to worsen with heavy to very heavy rain in parts of Nainital, Champawat, and Bageshwar.

The orange alert continues on Tuesday with similar forecasts for Nainital, Dehradun, Champawat, Bageshwar, Pauri, Haridwar, and Udham Singh Nagar.
