A damaged helicopter crashed near the Mandakini River in Uttarakhand during a recovery operation on Saturday. The helicopter, which made an emergency landing at Kedarnath Dham on May 24 due to a technical fault, was being airlifted to Gauchar airstrip for repairs by a Mi-17 chopper. The Mi-17 lost balance due to weight and wind, causing the helicopter to crash. No injuries or casualties were reported as there were no passengers or luggage on board. The incident was captured on camera. Authorities confirmed the crash and are investigating the incident.
