Bad weather conditions may hinder Kailash Mansarovar Yatra

With the monsoon season kicking in, BRO officials have predicted landslides between Tawaghat to Najang area and said that the authorities will find it tough to conduct the Kailash Mansarovar yatra without any snag this year.

Pithoragarh: Prolonged bad weather and damaged roads are posing a threat to the Kailash Mansarovar pilgrims this year.

With the trekking route from Najang to Bundi in a bad condition and landslides predicted between Tawaghat to Najang due to the monsoon, authorities will find it tough to conduct the yatra without any snag.

Last year the trek route from Najang to Malpa was badly affected due to the monsoon, after which the yatra was completed through helicopters.

Earlier, on Friday the bulldozing operator of Border Roads Organization (BRO) died after falling in the Kali river due to the landslide.

The blasting carried out by BRO for road construction can lead to falling of weak rocks, thus affecting the travel route.

The officials of BRO said that the passengers will be more comfortable after the Najang road construction completes.
