CEC Rajiv Kumar thanks villagers who supplied essentials while stuck in remote area of Uttarakhand
Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) team that came to his aid after he was rescued from the remote Ralam village in Uttarkhand’s Pithoragarh district following an emergency helicopter landing due to inclement weather and left stranded at over 12,000 feet.
Ralam is a high Himalayan village and is typically deserted during winter. Despite this, three villagers — Ishwar Singh Nabiyal, Surendra Kumar, and Bhupendra Singh Dhakriyal — trekked over 38km through rugged terrain to reach Kumar, who was stuck without food or proper shelter. He was with two other poll officials and the pilot of the chopper.
The villagers provided warm noodles and other essential supplies to the officials. They arrived at the village around 1:00 am after battling extreme conditions.
Kumar praised the efforts of the three villagers who trekked uphill in such rough weather to deliver life-saving supplies to him and his team in the letter addressed to Uttarakhand's chief electoral officer BVRC Purushottam. «There's a saying, ‘a drowning man will clutch at a straw'. This was true for us when the three-member group arrived like angels in Ralam. They even had a loyal dog with them, acting as a fourth layer of protection,” Kumar wrote.
