    Jharkhand: Cable car collision leaves one dead, several injured
    Two cable cars collided on Sunday evening on the Trikut Hills ropeway, touted to be Jharkhand's highest.

    One person was killed and several others injured in a cable car mishap on Jharkhand's Trikut Hills ropeway in Deoghar on Sunday evening. Two cablecars collided on the ropeway—touted as the state's highest—leading to a halt in operations. Rescue operations were launched. However, it's been over 30 hours (at the time of writing) since the accident and 18—of the nearly 50 people stuck—remained stranded.
