\u201cShe is aware and has been talking,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
\u201cPiyali has now been taken back to camp III, and she will be airlifted by a helicopter from here to Kathmandu Friday morning,\u201d he told PTI over the phone.<\/p>\n
\u201cAll necessary precautions are taken to ensure a smooth and secure descent,\u201d he said adding \u201cAll necessary support and medical assistance are being provided to her.\u201d “Piyali was very slow and couldn’t move when she arrived at around 7,800m descending from the summit point,” according to Sherpa.<\/p>\n
Piyali is one of the four Indian mountaineers, who scaled the world’s fifth-highest peak.<\/p>\n
