China has confirmed “resumption” of Kailash Mansarovar Yatra through the Nathu La route, Minister of State for External Affairs VK Singh has said.He also noted that the Kailash Mansarovar yatra via Nathu La was not undertaken last year after the Chinese government cited “unfavourable conditions” to ensure the safe and smooth conduct of the yatra on this route.The yatra was stopped by China in the aftermath of the military face-off with India last year at Doklam.The standoff began on June 16 after the Indian troops intervened and stopped the Chinese Army from building a road in the area claimed by Bhutan as it posed a security risk to Chicken Neck, the narrow corridor connecting India with its northeastern states. Finally, the two armies “disengaged” on August 28.“This matter was raised by the government with the Chinese government. Subsequently, the Chinese government has confirmed resumption of the yatra on this route,” Singh said. — PTI
