Ranchi, April 13: Enthused by the success in the rescue of tourists trapped on the ropeway in mid-air after the Trikut ropeway tragedy in Deoghar, Chief Minister Hemant Soren before setting up a probe committee decided to honour those who created the possibility at the face of challenges participating in the 45-hour-long historic rescue operation.
This came to the fore after a tweet from the chief minister came announcing honour for those who helped rescue tourists trapped in Trikut Mountain in Deoghar.
“The Honourable Chief Minister @HemantSorenJMM will also honour Pannalal Ji, who saved the lives of those trapped in the Trikut mountain accident along with Air Force, Indian Army, NDRF, ITBP, District Administration and local people,” the tweet reads.
त्रिकूट पहाड़ हादसे में एयरफोर्स, इंडियन आर्मी, एनडीआरएफ, आईटीबीपी, जिला प्रशासन और स्थानीय लोगों के साथ-साथ जान जोखिम में डालकर फँसे हुए लोगों की जान बचाने वाले पन्नालाल जी को भी माननीय मुख्यमंत्री @HemantSorenJMM सम्मानित करेंगे।

Panna Lal Panji Yara helped save as many as 10 tourists, who were stranded midair in the cabins. Panna works for the ropeway as a maintenance worker. He is skilled in performing ropeway repairs. His experience came in handy during the crisis. He approached two trolleys using the ropeway intended for maintenance work and safely rescued the tourists trapped in those cabins using indigenous ‘Jugad’ technology with the help of ropes and chairs.
Among the list of common people include Umesh Singh, Upendra Biswakarma, Naresh Gupta, and Shilawar Choudhary among others who gave the local administration the courage to carry out the rest of the rescue operation.
Meanwhile, a video showing the accident happening at Trikoot today became viral. It was apparently made viral by those who survived the accident.
