The BRO officer said that after completing the widening work of that road, the travelling time from Gunji to Jolingkong,that is 3 hours presently would\u00a0 be reduce to 1.50 hours.<\/p>\n
The BRO officer who was talking to this correspondent after returning from Gunji, also demanded\u00a0 temporary police posts at Gunji, Kuti and Jolingkong, to manage the Yatra.<\/p>\n

The \u2018Adi Kailash yatra\u2019 this year was flagged off by KMVN, on May 4th, but the coordination meeting was called by the district administration on May 17th in which the decision to allow \u00a0road construction work only \u00a0for four days in a week was taken.<\/p>\n
