A 50-year-old Borivli resident who survived the Amarnath cloudburst tragedy returned safely to the city on Sunday. In an exclusive interview with mid-day, Tejas Desai recalled the experience. 

Speaking about how he managed to survive, Desai said, “We were lucky enough to get inside the Amarnath cave before the cloudburst took place, or else I don’t know what would have happened to me and my friends.” Desai was part of the 15-member group from the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) Club in Kandivli that went for Amarnath yatra on July 7.
