Everest conqueror Tapi Mra and his aide Niku Dao, missing from an expedition to Arunachal Pradesh’s highest snow-capped mountain since August, could be in captivity in China, members of their families fear.
The family members of the missing Everest conqueror Tapi Mra and his aide Niku Dao fears that they may be in Chinese captivity.
They were missing since August.
The All Tagin Students’ Union (ATSU) has aired a similar apprehension as the 6,900-metre Khyarii Satam — the peak in East Kameng district Mra attempted to scale for the fourth time — is almost on the Line of Actual Control (LAC) between India and the Tibetan region of China.
The ATSU caters to the aspirations of the Tagins, an ethnic community the mountaineer duo belonged to.
The members of the families of Mr. Mra and Mr. Dao, staging a dharna in the State capital Itanagar’s Indira Gandhi Park for the seventh day on Nov. 6, lamented the “indifference” of the Arunachal Pradesh Government to the demands for bringing them back — dead or alive.
