💨 Abstract

The Uttarakhand government has temporarily banned the use of horses and mules on the Kedarnath pilgrimage route due to the deaths of 14 animals from a mystery illness. Experts suspect a bacterial infection, and a team from the Centre is investigating. A 24-hour ban is in place, and only animals testing negative will be allowed to resume service when the ban lifts. Those that have recovered from the infection will also be permitted.
