The threat of land subsidence continues to haunt Uttarakhand with fresh cracks being reported, this time on a key highway.
Fissures have now developed on a stretch of road along the Badrinath highway, amid preparations for the Char Dham Yatra, and announcement of dates for opening of portals of the Kedarnath, Gangotri, and Yamunotri shrines.
Cracks have appeared on the road between Joshimath and Marwari, according to reports.
It is reportedly used by pilgrims returning from Badrinath, and passes through the main market in Joshimath, which has seen damage to hundreds of houses, and displacement of dozens of families due to sinking of land.
