A couple from Potka Block of East Singhbhum district has gone traceless on the way to Kailash-Mansarovar from Gyirong land port on Nepal-Tibet (China) border after the devastating huge ice-rock avalanche washed away vast parts of Tibet and Nepal, including both the immigration offices in Nepal and China on August 26 morning, family members said on Tuesday.
The travel agency for the trip in India was Kolkata-based ‘Chalo Jai’ and ‘Samrat Tours and Travels’ in Nepal. Dr Adrija Ghosh is doing her PG from All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) Delhi in neurosurgery after doing her MBBS from Calcutta Medical College. Her colleagues and AIIMS contacted and have been coordinating with the Union ministry of external affairs (UMoEA) in Delhi.
62-year-old Manas Kumar Ghosh and his wife Dipali Sarkar had left for Kailash-Mansarovar from Kolkata on August 21 with a 32-member team of tourists, including the daughter-in-law of former Union minister Late Mukul Roy.
Soumyajit further said West Bengal CM Suvendu Adhikari had contacted his sister Dr Adrija Ghosh and assured all necessary assistance.
