The Relay Patrol had reached the snow-clad Nathula on Thursday. It was flagged off from Kibithu in Arunachal Pradesh on the 14th February last. Our Gangtok correspondent reports that the Long Range Relay Patrol will leave Sikkim for Uttrakhand on the fifth of May and will culminate at Leh in Ladakh on the 17th September.
