The article from ThePrint discusses the increasing use of helicopters for transportation by pilgrims visiting Kedarnath, a revered Hindu shrine in Uttarakhand, India.

The article highlights a recent incident where a helicopter crashed near Kedarnath, killing all seven passengers on board.

Additionally, the article notes that the government and aviation authorities are under pressure to improve safety regulations and oversight to prevent future tragedies.
