Ramgarh: Almost a week after the Uttarakhand government had declared that all missing workers in the Chamoli tragedy were dead, family members of three out of the four missing workers from Ramgarh performed symbolic final rites. They immersed the soil brought from the debris site in a local river here. A family member of the fourth missing worker is still in Chamoli and is expected to return with the soil soon.
Of the four Ramgarh natives who died during the natural disaster, three workers were from Chokad village and one from Saralakhurd village under Gola block. They were working at the NTPC’s hydel power project site in Tapovan when the tragedy struck on February 7.
