Right now, the forest officials are struggling to preserve the remains because tourist often like to take the skeletons back with them as souvenirs.
I that's happening, it is surprising that tourists can pass through customs with human remains, undetected.

It's not like all the tourists in India are from abroad. The majority are Indians from other states. We travel too, you know.
Right now, the forest officials are struggling to preserve the remains because tourist often like to take the skeletons back with them as souvenirs. Since the lake is far off and frozen for eight months in a year, it is difficult to guard the area. Most skeletons and bones have been stolen over the years with only a few skulls and bones remaining around the frozen lake.
