The Chinook helicopter transporting the generator set to the Welde Camp on Saturday morning flew from Jollygrant Airport. Power Dharali and the surrounding areas were severely affected by a lightning flood.
In Limchigad near Gangnani, Bridge Bailey is built to improve the connection of roads with affected areas. Working on its construction continued overnight, so it is ready in the next 24 hours.
The gangotri motorway is blocked or violated in several points that prevents the transport of advanced equipment needed to find the missing through tons of residues lying on the ignition in the Dharali.
