Nineteen trekkers from the Indian Army have been rescued from Himachal Pradesh's tribal Lahaul and Spiti district after being stranded in high altitude slopes due to untimely snowfall last week, police said on Monday.

"Nineteen trekkers of the Pathankot-based AD Regiment were rescued by the Indian Army on Sunday. They had been stuck in the Pin valley for the past many days due to hostile weather," Superintendent of Police (Kullu) KK Indoria said.
