By Zahiruddin

CHITRAL: A British national, Bowel Rupert, sustained serious injuries while paragliding here on Tuesday.
Sources said the British national was paragliding at a height of 14,000 above sea level at Mulkhow in upper Chitral along with American and Spanish paragliders when a strong wind hit them. As a result, the British national failed to maintain his balance and fell to the ground.
He was taken to Aga Khan Hospital at Booni in precarious condition from where he was removed to Islamabad by a helicopter.
