is generally bifid or trifid.

Yes Ritesh ji, my first reaction was also Polygonum affine, but thought plants are not that tall in P. affine.

I checked up others species in Concise Flowers of Himalayas by Oleg Polunin & Adam Stainton like Bistorta amplexicaulis, B. macrophylla & B. vaccinifolia. They also don't match up.

The "bubils" seen in place of the lower flowers on the spikes, are a characteristic of Persicaria vivipara. So, I believe this is Persicaria vivipara.
Also, lower leaves are stalked and the upper ones are stalkless in that species, as seen in the plant here.
