A helicopter crash in India’s northern state of Uttarakhand has resulted in the deaths of seven people, marking the second fatal aviation incident in the country in less than a week.

The crash took place early Sunday, just three days after a devastating India Air plane crash in Ahmedabad that left more than 270 dead.

According to reports, the Aryan Aviation Bell 407 helicopter, bearing registration VT-BKA, was flying from Kedarnath to Guptkashi—a popular pilgrimage route that winds through the Himalayas—when it went down.

An investigation into the incident will be carried out by the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB).

“At around 5:30 AM, we got the information that a helicopter, which was going from Shri Kedarnath Dham, could not be located,” said the Uttarakhand Civil Aviation Department.

The wreckage was later found near Gaurikund, a critical rest stop for pilgrims on the route to the Kedarnath shrine.

Local authorities, along with the State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) and other rescue teams, quickly mobilized to conduct search and relief operations at the crash site.

A meeting between senior officials in the wake of the crash ordered helicopter services for the route be completely closed until Monday.

Helicopter services would only resume after a meeting with all operators had been carried out and the flying experience of all pilots in the high Himalayan regions had been checked, Dhami said in a statement.

He also ordered a strict Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for helicopter services in the state to establish a common command and coordination centre in the state’s capital of Dehradun for better coordination and safer operation.

Meanwhile, recovery efforts are still ongoing in Ahmedabad, where rescue crews continue to sift through the debris left by Thursday’s India Air plane crash in a densely populated neighborhood.

Officials said that 25 additional bodies were recovered from the rubble late Friday night

The Civil Hospital in Ahmedabad reported to the Associated Press that 270 bodies have been received so far. The lone survivor remains hospitalized, though his condition has improved.

“He is doing very well and will be ready to be discharged anytime soon,” the facility said Saturday.
