Bodies of six people, who died after the car in which they were travelling in fell into a gorge in Pithoragarh district of Uttarakakhand on Tuesday were retrieved on Thursday, rescue officials said.
The deceased were returning after a ‘darshan’ of Adi Kailash when mishap took place on the Dharchula-Gunji road.
On Wednesday the State Disaster Response Fund (SDRF), along with local police, attempted to carry out a rescue operation but were halted due to heavy rainfall.
Later six bodies — all of the occupants of the vehicle– were recovered, SDRF said.
Further details are awaited.
