In a significant breakthrough for rescue efforts in flood-hit Uttarakhand, an alternative road link to the Kedarnath shrine's base camp was opened on Friday by the Army, enabling the evacuation of thousands of pilgrims stranded in the worst-affected area for days without enough food and water.

But the good news was tempered with bad weather being forecast in the flood-affected region from Sunday night, causing the government to ask rescue teams to go full-throttle with their efforts in the 48 hours before that. Soldiers rescuing people. (AP)
They also said that the evacuation process was almost over in the other badly-affected places such as Gangotri, Govindghat, Ghagharia, Gaurikund-Karnprayag and Joshimath.

The heavy rains caused by the annual monsoon have left more than 500 people dead and stranded tens of thousands, mostly pilgrims, in India''s northern mountainous region, officials said Friday.
