Following this, a team immediately from Kedarnath was deputed to the search for the missing trekkers. However, due to bad weather, the operation could not be continued. Later on Commandant of SDRF, Trupti Bhatt sent teams for extensive search on trekking routes from Kedarnath to Triyuginarayan, Sonprayag to Vasuki Tal, the SDRF said.

A helicopter has also been allocated for the search operations, it added.
