An Austrian paraglider, identified as Philipp, was seriously injured after his glider crashed at an altitude of around 3,700m in the Rani Sui Hills near Manali on Saturday.

Following the accident, a joint rescue operation was launched by the Bir Paragliding Association and the Manali Paragliding Association, and he was rescued and safely airlifted him to Chandigarh for advanced medical treatment.

Mahender Paul, president of the Paragliding Association, Manali, praised the coordinated efforts made by both associations and the local authorities for their swift response.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
