A Canadian paraglider, Megan Elizabeth Roberts, who went missing during a solo flight in the Dhauladhar ranges of Kangra district, has been found. According to local authorities, Roberts crash-landed in the mountains and was located after her satellite phone coordinates were tracked.

The search operation began after her disappearance on Saturday. Foot teams reached the crash site, situated at an altitude of 13,000 feet. Due to difficult weather conditions, the helicopter could not land, and Roberts is being brought down to 10,000 feet for safe airlifting, stated Sub-divisional Magistrate Baijnath, Sankalp Gautam.

Efforts to rescue her are jointly being conducted by the Billing Paragliding Association and local administration. On Sunday, a private chopper performed four sorties, although Roberts' current condition remains unclear.
