Rescue teams have recovered two additional bodies from a trekking trail in Uttarakhand, adding to the death toll from the ongoing search operation.
Rescue personnel operating in Uttarakhand have recovered two more bodies from a popular trekking route, officials said on Tuesday. The bodies were found by a team of forest officials and mountain police who were conducting a systematic search after earlier reports of missing trekkers.
The discovery comes as the search operation continues across the hilly terrain, where several other bodies have already been retrieved. Authorities have not disclosed the exact number of casualties recovered so far, but they confirmed that the recent finds increase the overall death count.
Local officials urged trekkers to exercise caution and to adhere to weather advisories, noting that sudden changes in climate and difficult pathways have hampered rescue efforts. The teams remain on standby to locate any remaining missing persons and to provide assistance to families of the victims.
