Kailash Yatra Halted: Monsoon Fury Wreaks Havoc on Kinnaur Route
Heavy rainfall has wreaked havoc on the Kinnaur Kailash Yatra route, forcing a temporary suspension of the pilgrimage. Landslides and flash floods have damaged crucial sections of the trekking path, including the collapse of several bridges.
The administration has prioritized the safety of pilgrims already on the route, providing them with shelter and necessary assistance. Rescue operations are underway to ensure the safe evacuation of any stranded individuals.
Authorities have strongly advised against undertaking the Kailash Yatra until further notice. The damaged infrastructure requires significant repair work before the route can be deemed safe for pilgrims. A fresh assessment of the situation is expected in the coming days.
This unexpected suspension casts a shadow over the spiritual journey of hundreds of devotees who had planned their pilgrimage. The unpredictable nature of the Himalayan weather underscores the importance of adhering to official advisories and prioritizing safety during such ventures. The administration is working to expedite repairs and will announce the resumption of the yatra as soon as conditions permit.
