Deoghar: Three persons including two women died while 46 others were rescued post the ropeway accident which took place the Trikut Hills of Jharkhand's Deoghar district on Sunday evening.
On Monday evening Army, NDRF and ITBP personnel had called off their operations as darkness fell.
On Monday, the IAF deployed one Mi-17 and one Mi-17 V5 helicopter for the rescue operations and its contingent of Garud Commandos hours after stranded tourists heading and returning to the natural retreat got stuck hundreds of feet above the ground due to a technical snag.
Cable cars remained suspended overnight with people stuck inside.
The trolleys banged against each other causing desperate screams from the occupants, whose life literally hanged by the rope on Sunday night before help reached. (Inputs from UNI)
