The scary Mt. Everest Avalanche in pictures

Indian Air Force is trying its best to help people who unfortunately got caught up in the Mount Everest avalanche that struck the mountain soon after the devastating Nepal earthquake. The avalanche jolted both India and Nepal, wrecked around 30 base camps, took away 17 lives and injured more than 61 people. Though Indian Air Force had flown 12 sorties to bring back Indian nationals, one of the Indian Air Force team is dedicatedly working to rescue people trapped in the frosted mountain range.

The extent of the devastation caused as well as that of rescue operations on in the mountain region can be seen in the images, which we have collated from the Web.
