Uttarkashi avalanche: Bad climate hampers rescue efforts for lacking mountaineers

Twenty-nine members of a staff from Nehru Institute of Mountaineering had gone lacking after an avalanche hit them on their approach again from the summit, in accordance with the NIM.

Twenty-six our bodies have since been recovered and three are nonetheless lacking.

Four out of twenty six our bodies retrieved to date have already been handed over to their households. Efforts are on to convey down the remaining.

With climate circumstances obstructing the search efforts, relations who’ve come to Uttarkashi from totally different components of the nation are getting impatient.

Aerial rescue operations might be resumed solely after the climate improves, District Disaster Management Officer Devendra Patwal stated.
