The three hikers had been beached at an altitude of 6900 meters for several days.

Whereas, the Head Rescue Mission Asghar Ali said that clearance is obligatory to go to any hill in Pakistan.

If the agreement was dismissed, the climbers should have been conversant.

Action can be taken against the hikers for going to Rakaposhi without info and contract, GB Tourism has been suggested for action, taking royalty from them and projected a ban of 5 years, stated Asghar.

It may be recalled that last week the climbers had mounted the peak of Rakaposhi and on their way back were stuck at an altitude of 6900 meters.
