On the rescue operations in Dharali and Harsil, Director General of Border Roads Organisation, Lt Gen Raghu Srinivasan says, "... The responsibility for the maintenance of NH-34 from Dharasu to Gangotri lies with the BRO. The distance from Uttarkashi to the disaster-hit Dharali is 96km. One major landslide on the national highway (NH) has been cleared. Our next step is to clear the landslide at Gagnani on the NH. A 25-30 metre long bridge at Limchigarh has been washed away. The stores to rebuild the bridge have loaded in vehicles and as we clear landslides on the way, we will keep moving forward with these stores. Launching this bridge in Limchigarh is very important for us, because only then will we be able to restore connectivity to Harsil... Since Dharali has been the worst affected, there is an entire lake that has been formed after the mudslide, and the National Highway is currently underwater in Dharali. I was able to meet CM Pushkar Singh Dhami and Union MInister Ajay Tamta in Uttarkashi today, and they took stock of the situation... They assured us of providing all resources of the state if need be... BRO is working in coordination with the Army."
