India Today
28 devotees were left stranded on the Maihar temple ropeway for about 40 minutes amid heavy rains in Satna district of Madhya Pradesh.
Around 28 devotees, who were visiting the Maa Sharda Devi Temple on Maihar hill, were stuck mid-air when the ropeway trolleys they were travelling on were stopped amid strong winds and heavy rains in Satna district of Madhya Pradesh.
The seven trolleys, containing four people each, kept swinging in the air for about 40 minutes.
Despite the warning by the weather department to close the ropeway operations due to the possibility of strong winds in the region, the ropeway management did not stop the services, reports said.
The ropeway management was successful in bringing down the trolleys and all the devotees were rescued without any major incident.
Last month, three people died and several others were injured in a major ropeway accident in Deoghar in Jharkhand.
