Kailash Mansarovar Yatra Hit by Bridge Collapse: Pilgrims Stranded

The Kailash Mansarovar pilgrimage, a deeply significant journey for many Indian devotees, is facing major disruptions. The Nepal-China Miteri Bridge, located near the Rasuwagadhi border point, has collapsed.

This crucial link connecting Nepal and China has left pilgrims stranded, according to the Trekking Agencies Association of Nepal (TAAN). TAAN, a leading body representing mountain tourism entrepreneurs, has highlighted the severe impact on the ongoing pilgrimage.

The collapse is causing significant delays and logistical challenges for those undertaking the arduous journey to the sacred site. Many pilgrims are now facing uncertainty about their travel plans.

The incident underscores the vulnerability of infrastructure supporting religious tourism in the region. The Indian government is expected to engage with Nepali authorities to facilitate the smooth passage of stranded pilgrims and explore alternative routes. The timely resolution of this issue is crucial, given the religious significance of the pilgrimage and the approaching peak season.
