Rescue operations are underway in the Spiti Valley after a hiker went missing during a solo trek in the harsh winter conditions. Authorities have dispatched search teams to comb the mountainous terrain, but efforts have been hindered due to adverse weather, including heavy snowfall and strong winds. The missing hiker’s family has expressed concern, and the police have urged all hikers to avoid trekking alone in such extreme conditions.
Local police are collaborating with the mountaineering team and the Indian Army to locate the missing individual. They are also advising trekkers to remain well-prepared for winter conditions and to notify authorities before embarking on treks in remote areas.
