DEHRADUN: The pilgrimage to the Himalayan shrine of Gangotri was disrupted again on Sunday due to landslides in Nalupani area in Uttarkashi district, officials said. The route to Gangotri temple has been repeatedly hit by landslides this month, they said. The Gangotri national highway had remained closed for 12 consecutive days from August 7 due to landslides in Sainj area where an 80-metre stretch of road was washed away. However, the yatra to three other shrines of Badrinath, Kedarnath and Yamunotri was on, they said.
