Festival caught in conflict of interest between 2 villages in U’khand

Raithal and Barsu villages, who once celebrated Andudi Utsav together, experience friction due to a proposed ropeway project in Dayara bugyal. Favoring Raithal’s stable soil, the project has sparked objections and legal petitions from Barsu. The court limited festival attendance to 1,500 over two days to protect the delicate ecology.
