The operation commenced 12 hours ago, and the successful conclusion was confirmed by Rescue 1122. The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the army’s media wing, also announced that all eight individuals trapped in a gondola dangling 274 meters (900 feet) above a ravine after a cable snapped have been rescued.
Names of Rescued Individuals
