Around 500 Indian pilgrims were stranded in Hilsa and Simikot due to inclement weather yesterday.
"First Secretary (Consular) Pranav Ganesh visited Hilsa today. He met district civilian and police officers and saw logistics available at Simikot and Hilsa. While Simikot has accommodation available for around 400 persons, Hilsa has no facility for more than 150 or so," the MEA said.
