12-year-old Maharashtra girl injured after fall from zipline in Manali
Shimla, Jun 15 (PTI): A 12-year-old girl sustained injuries after she fell when the harness rope snapped during a zipline ride in Manali, officials said on Sunday.
The video of the girl, Trisha Bijwe, falling from the zipline had gone viral on social media platforms.
Trisha, a resident of Maharashtra's Nagpur, was visiting Manali with her family last week, when the incident happened.
According to officials, Trisha was midway on the zipline when the harness rope broke. She fell from around 30 feet height onto a gorge with boulders, sustaining serious injuries.
The girl was immediately rushed to a nearby medical facility, from where they were referred to Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research in Chandigarh. She was later taken to a private hospital in Nagpur, where she is currently undergoing treatment, they said.
Deputy Superintendent of Police Manali KD Sharma said both the parties involved reached a mutual understanding and no formal case was registered.
This is why adventure sports aren’t safe in India. In Manali, a young girl fell from a zipline—nearly 30 feet—and is now seriously injured. Anyone without proper experience starts these activities, and there’s no one to check. Action is only taken after a fatal accident happens. pic.twitter.com/Xy5LNYRDwe

Chhattisgarh court grants bail to two Kerala nuns in human trafficking-conversion case
Bilaspur (PTI): A special court in Chhattisgarh's Bilaspur district on Saturday granted bail to three persons, including two nuns from Kerala, arrested on charges of human trafficking and forced religious conversion, lawyers said.
Principal District and Sessions Judge (NIA court) Sirajuddin Qureshi had reserved the order on their bail pleas after a hearing on Friday.
The court has granted conditional bail to the trio, defence lawyer Amrito Das said.
Catholic nuns Preethi Merry and Vandana Francis, both from Kerala, along with Sukaman Mandavi, were arrested at the Durg railway station on July 25, following a complaint from a local Bajrang Dal functionary, who accused them of forcibly converting three girls from Narayanpur and trafficking them, a railway police official had said.
Following the bail hearing on Friday, Das had said that the prosecution had not asked for the trio's custody for interrogation, and the alleged victims had been sent back to their homes.
