Three paragliders killed in seven days in Himachal’s Bir-Billing

Bir-Billing is a renowned paragliding destination, attracting enthusiasts from around the world. Apart from 93 paragliders from 70 countries taking part in the ongoing Cross Country Pre-World Championship, around 300 free flyers have gathered in Bir-Billing this season. The fatalities have prompted questions about the safety measures in place for free flyers, a term used for those who are allowed to use take-off sites at Bir-Billing by the Special Area Development Authority (SADA).
