Locals from the Almora and Pithoragarh districts of Uttarakhand , on Friday, staged protests against the agreement between India and China over an additional route to Kailash Mansarovar.
Chinese President Xi Jinping, on Thursday, proposed an additional route to Kailash Mansarovar via Nathu La in Sikkim, which was agreed to by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The traditional Kailash Mansarovar route passes through towns and villages in the State’s Almora and Pithoragarh districts. The locals, including businessmen, across the two districts protested against the Centre’s decision as it would hamper the economy of the area, which is dependent on tourism.
