Cabinet approves Kedarnath ropeway project, slashing travel time from 8-9 hours to 36 minutes
Wednesday, 5 March 2025 The Union cabinet, chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, approved the Kedarnath and Hemkund Sahib ropeway projects with a substantial financial outlay. The Kedarnath ropeway will connect Sonprayag to Kedarnath, significantly reducing travel time for pilgrims, while creating employment opportunities and boosting tourism industries in the region.
In a tragic crash near Kedarnath, an Aryan Aviation chopper carrying seven people—including a 23-month-old child and the pilot—plunged into a forest between Gaurikund and Sonprayag. All aboard were charred to death. The crash occurred during bad weather at 5:20 am. Victims include a temple committee employee, a Maharashtra family, and pilgrims from UP. The pilot attempted to steer out of the valley before the crash. NDRF, SDRF rushed for recovery. Helicopter services are suspended. A DNA test will be conducted before bodies are handed over to families.

Chopper Crash in Uttarakhand continues as yet another Kedarnath-bound chopper crash-lands near Badasu. This marks the fourth helicopter safety crisis on the Char Dham route in 30 days. The AW119 aircraft suffered a tail rotor failure and made an emergency landing on a road, narrowly avoiding a major disaster. Although no fatalities occurred, Chopper Crash in Uttarakhand raises serious questions about maintenance checks, pilot training, and aviation regulations in India’s high-altitude pilgrimage zones. Authorities are investigating the Chopper Crash in Uttarakhand, but the recurring nature of these accidents indicates a deepening helicopter safety crisis that can no longer be ignored. Experts urge immediate reforms to avert more tragedies.

U.S. President Donald Trump has hinted at a possible trade deal with India but warned of steep tariffs if no agreement is reached by August 1. Calling PM Modi a "friend," Trump criticized India’s high tariffs on U.S. goods, threatening 20–25% duties if talks stall. The U.S. had earlier imposed a 26% tariff, now suspended during negotiations. With the fifth round of trade talks just concluded, officials say discussions continue as the deadline nears, with another round slated for August 25.
