The another missing Indian climber Anurag Maloo was also found alive in Annapurna Crevasse today by the rescue team. He was in critical condition, revealed reports from Nepal  on Thursday. 

Baljeet Kaur is under treatment at Kathmandu hospital. She had given a thumps up to her unique survival instincts in the  crevasse of freezing hard Mt  Annapurna.

She along another climber Anurag Malu and Noel Hanna had fallen  into the crevasse near Camp  IV while coming back from the Annapurna peak last night.  

The fans of Baljeet Kaur have condemned certain "irresponsible media platforms and portals and newspapers" ,  which had declared her dead without verifying the report from the ground just to sensationalise the news to grab cheap publicity. 

But it was Noel Hanna, who was reported to have been killed in the tragedy. Hanna is a 10 -time Everester from Ireland. 

The reports from Nepal say that Baljeet Kaur was found alive at 7300 M near Camp III. Rescue Operation was launched today to trace them out.

But the fate of Anurag Maloo remains unclear so far. 

The record holding mountaineer Baljeet Kaur, is a proud  daughter of Dev Bhoomi Himachal. She has climbed the peak without supplement Oxygen.

Maloo went missing from 6000 m after he fell into a Crevasse. His chances of survival was bleak, a Sherpa told the agencies.   But he was found alive today in critical condition. 

Baljeet holds many records to her kitty at a very young age. She  is the first Indian mountaineer to conquer 4 peaks of 8000 metres in less than a month.
