A team from the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) has launched a probe into the Kedarnath Dham chopper crash that occurred in Uttarakhand’s Rudraprayag district. The helicopter went down in treacherous weather conditions, according to a preliminary analysis. The crash site, located near the pilgrimage route to Kedarnath, is known for unpredictable and challenging flying conditions. Authorities have cordoned off the area as investigators gather evidence and interview witnesses. The crash raises fresh concerns over aviation safety in high-altitude regions frequently used for religious tourism. A detailed report will follow after technical and weather-related data is fully assessed. (PC: HT)
