DEHRADUN, 22 Sep: Young mountaineer Rohit Bhatt met Governor Lt General Gurmit Singh (Retd) at the Raj Bhavan, here, on Wednesday.
Bhatt is a young mountaineer from Tehri Garhwal.

He has also made a world record by hoisting the 101-foot-long Tricolour on Mount Elbrus, the highest peak of the European continent.
He said that he had been selected to climb a peak in South America in October.
Describing young mountaineer Rohit Bhatt as an inspiration for the youth, the Governor congratulated him for conquering the highest peaks of Africa and Europe and hoisting the national flag there. He assured Bhatt of all possible assistance for this campaign.
