Landslide in Uttarakhand leaves 9 missing, suspends Char Dham Yatra

Heavy rains in Uttarkashi triggered a landslide on the Yamunotri Highway, washing away part of the road and damaging a labor camp where 19 workers were staying.
The Char Dham Yatra—covering Badrinath, Kedarnath, Yamunotri, and Gangotri—has been put on hold for at least 24 hours while authorities deal with the situation.

TL;DR

Pilgrims stopped at safe spots

Nineteen workers were caught in the landslide; 10 have been rescued but nine are still missing as search teams work through tough conditions.
Pilgrims have been stopped at safe spots to avoid further risks from landslides or floods.
Officials say repairs are underway and travel will only resume once things are safe again, so it's best to stay updated through official sources and avoid unnecessary travel for now.
