New Delhi/Srinagar, June 25

"Feeling peaceful" with Manisha Andraskar, was the last message that friends of Jayant Andraskar saw on his Facebook page before tragedy struck.

The Delhi couple and their two young daughters — Anagha and Janhvi -- were among seven who met a tragic death in Kashmir's Gulmarg when a cable car came crashing down after a ropeway snapped.

The Andraskars, residents of Shalimar Bagh in north west Delhi, had gone to Kashmir for holidaying.

One of their daughters was a class I student while the other was in playschool, according to one of their relatives, Sourabh. The couple had gone to Kashmir on June 22, he said.

"The last time we talked, they spoke about Kashmir," said Sourabh told PTI.

The family hailed from Nagpur but had come to Delhi as Jayant was working in a Delhi government department, he said.

Apart from the Andraskars, three persons from Kashmir were also killed in the accident. — PTI
