Kedarnath shrine damage to be assessed by experts
Dehradun: A team of experts from the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) will visit the Kedarnath temple in Uttarakhand to assess the quantum of damage caused by the recent floods and landslides.  

Five experts from Dehradun and Delhi will be part of the exercise for the revered shrine. The team is also expected to suggest restoration measures needed for the temple and the surrounding areas, a senior official said.

Efforts are on to drop the team by air, sources said.

The Uttarakhand government had sought help from ASI to assess the damage caused to the shrine.
