With a landing ground completed last month at Kedarnath, a holy town high up in the mountains of North India's Uttarakhand, that had been devastated by flash floods in mid 2013, an IAF Mi-26 landed there for the first time at 9.45am today. The arrival of the chopper establishes an air bridge that will be used to transport up to 150 tons of dismantled machinery and equipment necessary to restore the town that attracts thousands of devotees every year. These photographs are courtesy the Nehru Institute of Mountaineering that was involved in the construction of the landing ground.
