Alok ji

Minimum we expect is to know the diam of heads and length of leaves, also in place of just three photographs of habit, it would be useful if you upload one habit, pne close up of head from top and one close up from side.

You're absolutely right sir,
It would be difficult to identify with the meager info that I had
given... but given the circumstances of this journey I was hard placed
to start gathering the detailed info about the plethora of flowers I was
seeing (barely managed to photograph them)... Let it just remain a
record of upper Chamba and if I have the fortune of visiting this place
again.. I'd try and collect more info..
Thank you once again..
regards
Alok

Yes I think Tabish ji is right. Aster albescence, described as Microglossa albescence in FBI. Strangely The Plant List considers both as correct names, not even citing the basionym in latter.

Balkar ji, it seems your hint may help us to solve the mystery of plant I uploaded from near Panchkula growing in the wasteland. It may be verbesina encelioides.It must be somewhere in the mailbox but I will upload it again
