Gangotri highway restoration in progress; Dharali families still homeless
Uttarkashi: Work is on to restore the Gangotri National Highway, closed for the past 16 days. After cutting through 150m at Dabarani, the machines of Border Roads Organisation (BRO) and Public Works Department (PWD) have reached Songadh. Plans include channelising the Bhagirathi river and building a wire-crate security wall to repair about 400m of the washed-away road, a challenging stretch to restore. The highway, crucial for the Char Dham yatra, was severely damaged in the Harsil-Dharali disaster. Following repairs to landslide-hit sections at Chadeti and Papadgad, BRO built a bailey bridge at Limchi Gad. Cutting work at Dabarani started on Aug 11, with the first 150m completed in 15 days on Tuesday. Two youths died in a landslide while crossing the under-construction road earlier this week. On Wednesday, BRO equipment was moved to Songadh, where workers began river channelisation and security wall construction with wire crates on Thursday. BRO commander Rajkishore said road repair using gabion walls and debris filling is underway and will be completed soon. It has been over two weeks since the Dharali disaster, but missing persons remain untraced and many homeless families lack proper shelter. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 20 Effective Home Remedies to Relieve Your Lower Back Pain Learn More Undo Residents are still desperately searching for relatives, while displaced families stay with relatives or in tents, struggling with cold and poor sanitation.

Disaster management officer Shardul Gusain said that a govt order provides Rs 4,000 monthly rent assistance for affected families, with the process underway. Tehsildar SL Semwal added that 53 houses with 112 families were damaged in Dharali. Applications for rent aid have been collected, and displaced families are expected to be relocated soon.
