“Things were difficult. I saw piles of bodies in Kedarnath. But I think we worked till our last. I even carried old men when I was running high fever,” constable Ratnesh Boro, who was on duty for eight days at Kedarnath, said.
The troops recount how people “shouted with happiness” when they saw their rescue party at Gaurikund.
“We felt proud when people called us saviours, god and many similar terms. This made us believe that we have to take out each and every one before we go down,” said Deputy Commandant R S Negi, who returned from Jangalchhati area.
