A cable car carrying 11 tourists got stuck midway in Himachal Pradesh's Parwanoo area. A trolley has been deployed to rescue the passengers.
"The technical team of the Timber Trail operator has been deployed and the police team is monitoring the situation," the superintendent of police told ANI. Passengers are being lowered to the ground with help of rescue equipment. According to officials, there was a possibility that Army officials could be summoned.
The cable car is an attraction at the Timber Trail resort, located on the Chandigarh-Shimla national highway. The cable car has been stuck for over an hour. In October 1992, a similar incident had taken place. At the time, one person had died, but 10 of them were rescued in an operation by the Army and Air Force.
This is a developing story.
