The Army said the shrine is over 15,000 ft altitude and the teams worked through 6 km of glacier. A team of the engineers from the Brigade at Joshimath under the ‘Uttar Bharat’ area carved open the frozen route to the sacred Hemkund Sahib, ensuring timely commencement of the pilgrimage on May 25.
The gurdwara management committee solemnly acknowledged and recognised the efforts of the Army, the Indian Army said.
