He has been rescued. We have been able to speak with him. He is ok

I'd like to mention Singaporean Ng Kok Choong, victim of an accident on 23rd and spotted by the crew of the helicopter seaerching for my relative.
Ng Kok salved lives during a recent earthquake in Indonesia.

A true hero:

Edit:

He has appeared. He has been provided water and food. He is well, or reasonably well of course.
The helicopter was able to find him after a false positive.

Tomorrow another helicopter will go for him.

Again, thanks all for you kind support


My brother in law has disappeared in India, Himalaya zone, 4 days ago while flying in paraglider.
He has spent 3 nights (4 with this one) in the open and we got this morning news that he is injured but no to what extent.

Two attempts to reach by helicopter have been called off ( I don't know exactly the reasons) but it seems there are severe burocratic issues involved. We are trying to obtain Spanish foreign ministry aid to get Indian army's help as we think this is his only chance now.

Do anyone happen to know any gubernamental officer or even military person that could help here?

I know this sounds as a desperate attempt for help. Yes, it is.

Thanks all

Congratulations to your family, I am sure you have all had a very stressful few days. And your brother-in-law will surely have a great story to tell at parties for the rest of his life. :)

At first this was a real call for help. Just if , by any chance, some kind of help could be received.
Later this has been a relief,an entertainment and because I thought that if I had asked for help it was fair to inform any news.

Glad to hear that he's been found!
Unfortunately a paraglider from my country went missing in India as well but was later found dead around the same day your brother in law was found.
I pray that he won't meet the same fate and get home safely

Thanks CynicalSteve

Yes, I have just read your message a few minutes ago and shared the link with my relatives.
We think it's the person found by the first helicopter on 23rd, wrongly identified as "Indonesian" .

I'm praying for him and his familty
