A summer vacation turned tragic for a Nagpur-based family when 13-year-old Trisha Bijwe sustained severe injuries after falling from a zipline in Manali on June 8. The incident has sparked public outrage and raised serious questions about the safety protocols at adventure tourism sites in Himachal Pradesh.
Trisha was holidaying with her parents, Prafulla Bijwe and his wife, when the accident occurred. According to eyewitnesses and family accounts, the zipline cable reportedly snapped mid-air, causing Trisha to plummet nearly 30 feet to the ground. She suffered multiple fractures in her legs and other injuries due to the impact.

Initially taken to a local hospital in Manali, Trisha was later shifted to a facility in Chandigarh for specialized care. She is now admitted to a private hospital in Nagpur, where she remains under close medical observation.
The Bijwe family has blamed the zipline operators for serious lapses in safety and alleged that there was no immediate emergency response at the site. “There were no harness checks, no medical staff on standby, and no proper supervision,” said Prafulla Bijwe. The family has also released a video of the incident, capturing the fall and the chaotic aftermath, which has since gone viral.
The incident has triggered widespread condemnation, with citizens and safety advocates demanding strict regulatory oversight of adventure tourism operators. The family is calling for a thorough investigation into the matter and strict accountability for those found negligent.
Authorities in Himachal Pradesh have yet to issue an official statement, but pressure is mounting for immediate action and tighter safety enforcement across all adventure activity zones.
