Pithoragarh, 13 Jul: The monsoon season has once again brought severe trials for the people of Uttarakhand, with incessant rain triggering landslides and floods across the hills. In the border district of Pithoragarh, alarming scenes have emerged from Malla Johar on the Milam route near Munsiyari, where the Bilju Nala, which lacks a permanent bridge, has swelled dangerously. For over a week, continuous rainfall has left it in spate, making even pedestrian movement hazardous. The villagers have resorted to crossing on makeshift wooden ladders and logs, risking their lives. The absence of a bridge has not only troubled locals but also affected soldiers deployed along the China border.
