falling boulders

The Badrinath National Highway-7 in Karnprayag was closed for many hours on August 4 because of rocks falling from a hill near Panchpulia. According to Superintendent of Police Chamoli Shweta Choubey, the task of opening the roadway has been undertaken. Passengers traveling to Badrinath at night were stopped at Gauchar for safety, and pilgrims traveling to Rishikesh were halted between Karnprayag and Langasu.
