Missing paraglider traced in Himachal (Lead)
Rescue teams Wednesday traced Ukrainian paraglider Igor, who had gone missing in the Kangra valley here six days ago, police said.
"This (Wednesday) morning Ukrainian paraglider Igor was traced and rescued safely from Bandla hills in Kangra district. A special helicopter hired by his family was used to rescue him," Deputy Superintendent of Police Rakesh Singh told IANS.
He said the paraglider had been airlifted to New Delhi.
Igor, 48, took off from Billing, near here, for Bir and lost his way due to strong winds and went missing Nov 5.
Earlier, Russian paraglider Alexey Ashurov went missing while practising here Oct 23. He has still not been traced.
Bir-Billing, about 300 km from state capital Shimla, is considered one of the finest aero sports sites in the world.
