Russian paraglider rescued after 3 hours stuck on power lines

The pilot, who took off from Bir Billing, was tangled in high-tension wires more than 100 metres above the ground in Himachal's Mandi district.

A 48-year-old Russian paraglider got stuck in high-tension electricity wires near Tandu in Mandi on Tuesday.

NHAI, SDRF and NDRF teams used a crane to bring him down after a three-hour operation.

He sent photos of his location to the Bir Billing Paragliding Association, which raised the alarm.
