Seven people, including a toddler, have been killed in India’s northern Uttarakhand state when a helicopter ferrying them for a Hindu pilgrimage crashed in the Himalayas.
Officials from the Uttarakhand Civil Aviation Development Authority said the chopper took off today, Sunday from the temple town of Kedarnath for Guptkashi, a town some twenty-three miles away, but crashed shortly after takeoff, killing the pilot, a man, his wife and their two-year-old daughter, among others.
