Helicopter services from Garud’s Meladungri helipad were fully suspended on Friday after poor weather and low visibility prevented any flight from arriving. Scheduled services to Dehradun and Haldwani could not operate, leaving passengers waiting for hours, returning home or switching to road travel for urgent and time-bound journeys.

Repeated debris falls near Rawaikhal have disrupted traffic on the Bageshwar-Garud motor road amid continuous rain. Vehicles are queued on both sides, while a JCB is working to clear the route. Fresh material keeps reaching the road, slowing movement and creating difficulties for travellers using the important route.
