uttarkashi tunnel collapse: Villagers blame wrath of demolished Baukhnaag Devta for tunnel collapse in Uttarkashi
Villagers in Uttarkashi believe that the recent collapse of the Silkyara-Polgaon tunnel is a result of the wrath of the local deity Baukhnaag Devta. They claim that the removal of a temple dedicated to the deity before the tunnel construction angered the god. The villagers insist that the deity must be appeased for successful rescue efforts.
