Sajid Sadpara, the son of Ali Sadpara, has said that the chances that his father is alive are very less. In conversation, he said that; Rescue operations now only make sense if they are carried out to bring back his body. Otherwise, for the chance for anyone to survive at 8,000 meters after being missing for two to three days is quite not possible.

Two army helicopters flew at 7,800 meters for a second time and conducted aerial view for an hour. The search team traced the Abruzzi and other routes. But they did not see any of the mountaineers.

The operation was not successful due to cloudy conditions and strong winds. Due to which it was temporarily suspended.
