Guwahati, 2 May: As many as forty visitors who were trapped owing to severe rains near Nathula were successfully rescued by the Boarder Roads Organisation (BRO) Karmayogis. The Karamyogis of BRO’s Project Swastik supplied food and shelter to the stranded visitors inside BRO detachments. In spite of the bad weather, the BRO worked nonstop to save the tourists and assure their safety.
The tourists were reportedly stranded as a result of persistent rain and landslides that obstructed the route going to Nathula. The BRO sprang into action right away and started a rescue effort to get the trapped visitors out of there.
The BRO Karmayogis put in endless effort to remove the debris and reopen the road, bringing much-needed respite to the stranded tourists.
The tourists were safely sent back to Gangtok when the route was opened by BRO’s project Swastik. The BRO, under the capable leadership of their DG Lt Gen Rajeev Chaudhry is known for his selfless devotion and unflinching commitment to its mission.
