Rescue of six Indian tourists stranded in Upper Dolpa delayed

The rescue of six Indian tourists stranded in Upper Dolpa by heavy snowfall has been delayed. Although preparations were made to deploy a helicopter for the operation, a technical problem in a Nepali Army helicopter caused the delay.

Of the 244 tourists in Dolpa, six Indian tourists are stranded in the Danigadh area of Shey Phoksundo Rural Municipality-8 because of heavy snowfall. The District Administration Office is working to rescue the group, which consists of two women and four men.
