September 05, 2013 11:57

With the weather clear at most places across Uttarakhand over the past few days, 64 more bodies were found lying over the ridges in Kedarnath valley and cremated with necessary rituals, a senior police officer said today.

"These bodies seem to be of devotees who climbed up the ridges out of fear after the mid June calamity to save themselves and perished due to extreme cold conditions there," IG R S Meena said.

A total of 64 bodies have been consigned to flames over the past two days between Rambada and Kedarnath shrine, he said.
