The Tamil Nadu government today said it has set up a control room in New Delhi to provide logistic support for pilgrims of Kailash Mansarovar yatra from the state stranded in Nepal due to inclement weather once they arrive in the national capital.
The control room, manned by five officials, will be functioning in the Tamil Nadu House and can be reached at 011-21610285 and 011-21610286, an official release said.
"The Indian embassy is taking steps to rescue them. Once pilgrims belonging to Tamil Nadu are brought to India, the Tamil Nadu House will provide facilitation and logistic support for pilgrims to reach their destination in the state," it said.
According to state government sources in Delhi, around 19 people from Tamil Nadu are among the over 1,500 Indian pilgrims stranded in mountainous region in Nepal near Tibet.
