Paraglider injured in Himachal's Mandi after wind drift lands him on building slab
Mandi (HP), May 31 (PTI): A paraglider from Bihar was seriously injured after he lost control due to speedy winds and fell on a slab of a building in a village in Himachal Pradesh's Mandi district, officials said on Saturday.
The victim was identified as Vijay Kumar from Bihar. He has about 18 years of experience in taking solo flights. On the day of the incident, he went for paragliding along with his friends. While others managed to land on the Chogan site, he moved about 20 kilometres away from the landing site, police said.
While landing, Kumar dashed against the slab in Pehlum village in Jogindernagar. The villagers spotted him and rushed him to the nearest hospital from where he was referred to Medical Hospital Tanda in Kangra, they said.
According to a medical officer from Jogindernagar, Kumar received two fractures in arms and legs apart from other injuries.

Niqab incident: Nitish Kumar perhaps revealing his true colours, says J-K CM
Srinagar (PTI): Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Wednesday criticised his Bihar counterpart over the niqab incident and said that Nitish Kumar might be slowly revealing his true nature.
"Nitish Kumar, who was once considered a secular leader, may be slowly showing his true colours," Abdullah told reporters here on the sidelines of a function.
Abdullah said Kumar removing the face veil of a Muslim woman doctor was wrong and cannot be justified by any means.
"We have seen this kind of incident here several years ago. Have you forgotten how Mehbooba Mufti removed the burqa of a legitimate voter inside a polling station? That act was wrong, and this act (of Kumar) is also wrong.
"If the (Bihar) chief minister did not want to hand over the order to her (Muslim woman), they could have kept her aside. However, to humiliate her like this is totally wrong," the Jammu and Kashmir chief minister said.
Kumar stirred a huge controversy after he removed the face veil of a Muslim woman at a function earlier this week.
