A 16-member SDRF team rescued a Russian paraglider who got entangled in high-tension power transmission lines along the Mandi-Padder National Highway in Himachal Pradesh. The operation used a 56-metre hydraulic crane and specialised safety gear. The paraglider, conscious and able to speak, was shifted to a nearby hospital for medical evaluation.
