The meteorological department issued an alert for heavy rains in the hilly districts of Uttarakhand, today. The Meteorological department said in Dehradun yesterday that heavy rains may lash isolated places in Uttarkashi, Chamoli, Rudraprayag, Nainital and Pithoragarh districts during the next 24 hours. In view of the alert, Chief Secretary S Ramaswamy asked the District Magistrates to be



vigilant.

The alert assumes added significance as thousands of pilgrims are currently performing the 'chardham yatra' by visiting the four Himalayan shrines of Kedarnath, Badrinath, Yamunotri and Gangotri located in the districts where heavy rains have been predicted. A huge landslide triggered by rains a few days back had left thousands of pilgrims stranded on way to Badrinath which falls in Chamoli district.
