Authorities in Himachal Pradesh have suspended the annual Shrikhand Mahadev and Kinnaur Kailash yatras, citing the significant risk posed by landslides in the regions.
The Himachal Pradesh government has halted the popular Shrikhand Mahadev and Kinnaur Kailash pilgrimage journeys. This decision comes in response to concerns over potential landslide threats in the mountainous terrains where these yatras are conducted.
The suspension aims to ensure the safety of devotees who undertake these arduous spiritual journeys annually. The affected regions in Kinnaur and Kullu districts are prone to landslides, especially during periods of inclement weather, making the treks hazardous.
Further updates regarding the resumption of these religious expeditions will be provided based on the evolving safety assessments of the routes.
