With the rise in daily temperature, Gujjars and Bakerwals have begun their bi-annual seasonal migration to the upper reaches of Shivalik, Perpanchal and Trikuta Hills of the Himalayas a few days ahead of their routine schedule.
A handout by the Tribal Research And Cultural Foundation, an organisation working for the Gujjars, has impressed upon various organisations working for tribals in the state to mobilise resources for providing necessary logistics to migratory tribes.
Secretary of the foundation said that the main migration routes, including Jamiya Gali, Gora Batta, Nanansar, Ropadi Dharhal Pass , Mughal Road and others, were badly damaged due to heavy snowfall last winter and were in need of urgent repairs. The foundation had appealed to the relevant agencies to undertake early repairs to these traditional routes.
