Digital Desk: At least eleven tourists got stranded in mid-air after a technical glitch was reported in their cable car in Himachal Pradesh's Parwanoo on Monday.
Meanwhile, a rescue operation has been deployed for the stranded tourists, and as of now, at least nine people have been rescued.
A technical team of Timber Trail operators has been dispatched, and the situation is being monitored by a police unit.
When the cable car came to a halt in mid-air, it was carrying a total of 11 tourists. The rescue mission is being conducted by the Timber Trail private resort workers, according to Parwanoo official Chattar Singh.
If the tourists are not rescued immediately, an NDRF team will be dispatched. For the past two hours, the cable car has been stalled.
Two stranded travellers have been reported to be sick. Five women and three men were among those rescued.
In October 1992, a similar event occurred on the same ropeway, when 11 riders became trapped. The Indian Air Force eventually rescued them.
Notably, in April, at least three people died after tourists were stuck in cable cars in Jharkhand’s Deoghar district for more than 40 hours.
