Pilgrims suffer between bureaucracy and helicopter service company fight

Helicopter Service providing companies had stopped helicopter service and pilgrims, who had gone to Kedarnath, had struck there on Thursday. Seeing delay they raised their voice but administrative officers were seen helpless.
During investigation it has revealed that district administration put pressure over a helicopter company to carry their guest on priority basis but they refused and said that they have already booking so how they can carry person without booking?

Although district administration did not budge and they put undue pressure so helicopter companies conducted emergency meeting and stopped their service with immediate effect. Realising this pilgrims who had gone to Kedarnath informed to their relative sitting in Delhi or Dehradun. Although Chamoli DM Mangesh Ghildiyal has rejected this but people who have struck there have confirmed this news.
