U'khand flood: Bodies pile up outside gate of Kedarnath temple

According to reports, rain water gushed into the town from the summit behind the shrine carrying rocks and boulders, destroying everything on its path

Press Trust of India Kedarnath (U'khand)
The hellish rains have turned Kedarnath into a ghost town. Though the outer structure of the temple seems intact, there are bodies piled up outside its gate.

According to reports, rain water gushed into the town from the summit behind the shrine carrying rocks and boulders, destroying everything on its path.

The most ironic part of the tragedy is despite the mobile phone towers remaining intact, there is no electricity due to which people were unable to contact their families as their phones ran out of charge.

IAF has already started rescue operation in the area.
