The Rishikesh-Badrinath highway, in Uttarakhand, has been reopened this evening for vehicular traffic. The road was blocked near Vishnuprayag yesterday evening following heavy landslides from Hathiparwat. Chamoli SDM Jitendra singh said this talking to All India Radio.
BRO personnel were engaged day and night in clearing the debris. The stranded pilgrims have now started moving to their destinations both ways. With the opening of the road, Badrinath Yatra is now running smoothly.
