Kedarnath received first snowfall of the season on Saturday. The weather of the area had begun to change on Saturday afternoon when it started snowing for a brief period. On Sunday, Kedarnath got draped in a thin white blanket.

The temperature of Kedarnath has dropped from 12 degree Celsius to 6 degree C. Despite challenging conditions, the reconstruction team is engaged in redevelopment work in the holy township.

New Uttarakhand Chief secretary Utpal Kumar Singh undertook the 8 km trek from Kedarnath to Bheembali on Saturday. The CS inspected the reconstruction work done in the flash-flood affected area and other works to be done there.

Kedarnath reconstruction work is in high priority of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. This year, the PM visited the shrine twice.
