Radhakant, hailing from Muzaffarpur, Bihar, returned to Delhi on Friday after his horrendous experience in Badrinath.




"I had to literally run in a race against death in Uttarakhand.  Behind me, the land was caving in, and shutting my eyes, I was running. I lost my friend Deepak, from Khagaria,  during the race", said Radhakant.

"We climbed up a hill. On one hand, the hillside were breaking up to pieces due to heavy rains accompanied by thunder. I somehow managed to reach Joshi Math the next day at noon. We stayed in a government school. I had Rs 3000 with me. We paid Rs 50 for a water bottle, Rs 30 for a cup of tea and Rs 100 for half a piece of bread."
