Despite the ongoing heavy snowfall in Kedarnath Dham of Uttarakhand and the temperature falling below zero, the soldiers deployed in the security system are discharging their duties with full alertness. During the winter period, when the entire Dham is covered in a white blanket of snow and the movement of people remains completely closed, even at that time the soldiers of Indian Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) and Rudraprayag Police are stationed in Kedarnath.
Due to continuous snowfall, it is extremely cold in the Dham. The temperature has reached several degrees below zero, but regardless of the adverse conditions, the soldiers are patrolling the temple premises and surrounding areas 24 hours a day. Along with the security of Kedarnath temple, these soldiers are also responsible for monitoring the assets of the Dham.
Along with monitoring the roads are also being maintained
Roads are completely blocked due to heavy snow accumulation. In such a situation, the security personnel are not only handling the work of monitoring, but are also continuously doing the work of removing snow from the roads. Soldiers carrying shovels on their shoulders are clearing the roads by cutting snow, so that in case of any emergency, traffic is not disrupted and essential services can be maintained smoothly.
There is silence in Kedarnath Dham during the winter season, but there is no lack in the vigilance of the security forces. ITBP personnel are deployed with modern equipment and special winter uniforms, while the local police force is also keeping a close watch on every activity. Regular patrolling is being done in the temple premises, roads and surrounding sensitive areas.

Standing amidst the icy winds and minus temperatures, these soldiers are not only keeping a strong guard of security, but are also setting an example of devotion and service spirit.
