Uttarakhand Chief Minister Vijay Bahuguna today said the remaining stranded people-- numbering about 10,000 -- in the flood-ravaged state are safe and that the mammoth multi-agency evacuation process will be completed in two to three days.    

"Worst is over now. All are safe in Badrinath, Harsil and Gangotri. The army, Indo-Tibetan Border Police and National Disaster Response Force
are present there. It will take two to three days to finish the rescue work. Kedarnath valley is almost evacuated," Bahuguna told PTI over phone.   

As the state tries to recover from the floods and landslides triggered by the monsoon rain on June 16, Bahuguna said precautionary measures have been taken  in the wake of the forecast by the weather office that heavy to very heavy rainfall will hit the state over the next three days.   

"There are people stranded in Badrinath and Harsil but they are looked after. Army, ITBP and NDRF are present there.All the arrangements of food and water are made. As soon asthe weather permits, they will be evacuated," he said.    

Bahuguna also said the state did not require helicopters from other states.
