Paragliding banned in Bir, India - again

Paragliding in India has been banned until 20 October 2010, dealing another blow to the sport in the country.

The blanket ban has been put in place by the government until the end of the Commonwealth Games, which are on in Delhi now.

The ban has left dozens of paraglider pilots in the Himalayan site of Bir / Billing grounded – and furious at the late notice of the ban.
