Chennai (Tamil Nadu) [India], July 04 (ANI): Tamil Nadu Minister D Jayakumar on Wednesday assured that the arrangements are being made to bring back the mortal remains of a pilgrim, who had gone to Kailash Mansarovar Yatra in Nepal.
The pilgrim, who lost his life during the yatra, has been identified as Ramachandran and reportedly died because of natural causes.

Talking to media, "Total 23 people from Tamil Nadu went for Kailash Mansarovar Yatra. 19 people stranded in Simikot are safe, 4 people returned to Chennai yesterday. Arrangements are being made to bring back body of one deceased pilgrim."
The Indian Embassy in Nepal issued a list of hotline numbers for the pilgrims stranded in Nepal and their family members.
