Hundreds of pilgrims are feared stranded after a landslide occurred near Vishnuprayag in Uttarakhand’s Chamoli district, blocking the Rishikesh-Badrinath National Highway.
District Collector Ashish Joshi said Border Roads Organisation (BRO) personnel were engaged in clearing the roads and it could be opened for traffic by Saturday afternoon.
The Collector said the administration was taking efforts to provide all facilities to 1,000-1,500 pilgrims at Joshimath, Karnaprayag, Pipalkoti, Govindghat and Badrinath.
