Indian climber Anurag Maloo, rescued from Mt Annapurna, finally discharged from hospital
New Delhi, Nov 8 (PTI) After numerous reconstructive surgeries during his five-month stay at the AIIMS, mountaineer Anurag Maloo, who was miraculously rescued three days after falling into a deep crevasse on Mount Annapurna in Nepal in April, has been discharged from the hospital.
A native of Kishangarh in Rajasthan, Maloo (34) went missing on April 17 after falling from an altitude of around 6,000 metres while descending from Camp III on Mount Annapurna – the 10th highest mountain in the world known for its treacherous terrain.
He survived in the 70-metre-deep avalanche-prone crevasse for three days before being rescued on the morning of April 20. He was first taken to a nearby medical camp, then to Manipal Hospital in Pokhara, and later to Kathmandu's Medicity Hospital.
