Kullu (Himachal Pradesh) [India], June 17 (HBTV): The Kullu district administration has initiated action against an adventure sports site in Manali after a girl from Nagpur reportedly fell from a zipline. District Deputy Commissioner Torul S Raveesh stated that the site was operating without mandatory registration.

‘This incident is 5–6 days old, and this site was not winter-registered. Departmental action is being taken on this. We got to know about this via social media because there was no formal complaint, but we are taking action,’ Raveesh told ANI.

She urged tourists to verify that adventure sports operators have proper authorisation and adhere to safety regulations before participating in such activities.

‘Separate rules exist for adventure sports... There are two committees to look after these at the district level. While doing adventure sports, please ensure that it is authorised and that you follow all safety measures,’ she added.

The injured girl, identified as Trisha from Nagpur, was admitted to Mission Hospital in Kullu after the incident, which occurred near Nehru Kund. A video circulating on social media shows her falling onto rocks after the zipline rope connected to her harness snapped.

According to Kullu Police, her father, Prafful Vijve, recorded a statement in which he said he does not wish to pursue legal action and will personally oversee his daughter's treatment and recovery.
