Himachal Pradesh tourism authorities closed the Naga Bagh paragliding site in Raison here on Monday, six days after a 32-year-old tourist from Andhra Pradesh died in a flying accident.<\/p>\n
The decision was taken after a preliminary inquiry revealed negligence on part of the paragliding operator.<\/p>\n
Sudden wind gust during take-off affected the flight of Tadi Mahesh Reddy on January 7 at Raison, about 20km from Manali. He fell 30 feet down, sustained injuries and died.<\/p>\n
Investigation revealed that the flight was not taken from the site identified by the tourism department but from a spot 50-100 metres away, which was illegal, Deputy Director Tourism Chirangi Lal told PTI.<\/p>\n
The licence of the operator has been cancelled and checks are being kept on the paragliding activities in the area, he added.<\/p>\n
