Bodies of three trekkers recovered from Barua Kanda

After rigorously searching for four days, today ITBP team traced and recovered bodies of three Maharashtrian trekkers, Deepak Narayan Rao(58yrs), Rajendra Bhalchandra Pathak(65yrs) and Ashok Madhukar Bhalerao(64yrs), who died during their trekking from Janglik Rohru to Kinnaur (via Barua Kanda) in Himachal Pradesh.

During a conversation with Dream Wanderlust, a state official of SEOC, Kinnaur said that continuous snowfall made the search and recovery operation really difficult as the bodies got buried under the snow.

The mortal remains have been brought to Barua Kanda and will be handed over to relatives of deceased persons after post-mortem, which will be carried out tomorrow.

Among 13 members of the trekking team, three people were injured and they were taken to District Hospital Reckong Peo after giving first aid at PHC Kilba. All ten people are fine, now.
