“Yes, there are some difficulties being experienced in movement of KMY (Kailash Mansarovar Yatra) Yatris via Nathu La. Matter is being discussed with Chinese side,” External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Gopal Baglay told PTI.
Citing sources, PTI said that the pilgrims and the liaison officer were stopped because several Chinese roads were washed away after landslides.
