Helipad? Or Satrundi check-post?

Bhanjraru ?
or
Satrundi ?


Satrundi seems ok.

Actually Satrundi Checkpost is shifted to some km earlier in winters.
This may be winter Post.
During Snowfall Police Post at Bairagarh is final Post where you will be stopped.


Image of same Helipad can be seen at Google Maps:
