Kerala actress Manju Warrier and a 25-member crew of Malayalam film “Kyttem”, who were stuck at Chhatru in Lahaul-Spiti following heavy rain and landslides, moved out from the area today.
Amar Negi confirmed that they had gone back to their destination. “We had approached the actress and her team twice for their rescue but they refused to take any help,” he said.
In a signed letter to the authorities in Lahaul-Spiti district, they said they were staying at Chhatru, some 100 km away from Manali, in Lahaul-Spiti district on their own. “The administration approached us twice but we preferred to stay here till the road connectivity to Manali is restored,” said the letter written by a Manali tour operator accompanying them.
A letter, signed by them, was handed over to SDM Amar Negi when he met them. It said the administration would not be responsible in case of any eventuality.
A team of 11 local residents was accompanying the Malayalam film crew, said the letter. Official sources said the road connectivity between the Lahaul valley and Manali via Rohtang Pass was damaged, which had been restored.
