Srinagar, May 27 -- Rescued after a gruelling seven-hour ordeal in treacherous weather conditions, the stranded tourists on Monday recalled the fear, uncertainty and relief of being brought to safety by the rescuers. Soon after Gandola developed a snag, a massive rescue operation was launched involving teams from the cable car project, the army, police, SDRF, CRPF, and NDRF. Officials said a total of 65 cable cars were stuck at various points, with 55 of them carrying tourists. For many tourists, what began as a holiday adventure quickly turned into a nightmare. "We had come here for enjoyment and initially thought the services would be restored soon," said Disha, a tourist from Gujarat. "The weather was bad, and we feared something adverse could happen." Disha was trapped with five people, including three women who were eventually rescued. Another rescued tourist, Sameer Shekhar, said his first Gondola ride became an unforgettable, traumatic experience. "Our group was rescued within two hours. The cable car developed a snag soon after we boarded for the upward journey. Everything came to a halt. The rescue operation began within an hour. Locals also helped tourists along with the police and army," Shekhar said. Shekhar said that though the rescue was swift and no one was injured, the anxiety levels inside the cabin kept mounting. "The rescuers did a wonderful job," he added. Another tourist praised the local horsemen. "My mother got stuck and was rescued after three hours. It was a local pony wallah who brought her down to safety after she was rescued from the cable car," he said....
