Russian Paraglider Rescued After Getting Stuck in High-Tension Wires in Himachal
A Russian paraglider pilot became entangled in high-tension electricity wires about 150 metres above the ground near Mehar village in Himachal Pradesh's Mandi district. After nearly two-and-a-half hours, rescue teams, including the State Disaster Response Force, used a 146-metre hydraulic crane to safely bring him down. The electricity supply was switched off during the operation, and safety measures such as tarpaulins and mattresses were placed below. An Air Force helicopter was on standby but not needed after the successful ground rescue.
