IAF Mi-26 lands at Kedarnath 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. The town of Kedarnath was devastated in the floods of 2013.
