Gulfraz shared that they’ve been stuck on the chairlift since morning, waiting anxiously for help to arrive. There are eight of them – including kids aged between 10 and 13 – hanging there helplessly.
They’ve been trapped for a good long five hours now. What’s even more distressing is that one of the boys – who suffers from a heart condition and was on his way to the hospital – has been unconscious for the last three.
To add to their woes, they’ve run out of refreshments and even water. And, as luck would have it, their phone’s battery life is on its last leg.
