Two men are reported trapped in a mountainous area for around 30 hours after not responding to rescue calls. NDTV reports that the pair reportedly ignored people trying to reach them during the ordeal.

According to the reports, the men were not carrying mobile phones, citing lack of signal in the region. NDTV attributes their inaction to superstition, saying they did not follow instructions from rescuers. The accounts also describe delays in their eventual assistance due to their refusal to engage with rescue efforts during the time they were stranded.

While the core facts—being trapped for about a day and not responding to rescue calls—are consistent, the emphasis differs slightly between the two versions of the report. One account frames the incident as “for hours,” while the other specifies “for 30 hours,” but both describe the same underlying circumstances: the men remain in the mountains, do not have phone connectivity, and do not cooperate with rescue attempts due to superstition.
