It was a close shave for Nizamabad’s Shishir Saraswathi Raj, a 24-year-old doctor who was on a holiday for hiking in Kasol, close to Kullu in Himachal Pradesh, which witnessed floods and landslides.
For Dr. Shishir, who was a part of the 10-member group of friends, it was a harrowing experience from July 7 to 11, being shut away from the rest of the world for want of power and obviously any communication facility.
