The first Everest conqueror from Arunachal Pradesh Tapi Mra and his wife were assaulted and injured by miscreants, who also looted them, near the state police headquarters, police said on Friday.
Two women from the frontier state of Arunachal Pradesh in Northeast India stole the limelight in the arena of adventure sports (mountaineering) by conquering Mount Everest this year.
Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh on Tuesday met the 35-year-old mother of two, Anshu Jamsenpa who achieved a unique feat by conquering the Mount Everest on two occasions within a span of 10 days on May 12 and May 21 this year, at his official residence in New Delhi.
Ask Tapi Mra, the first Arunachalee to step on the top of the world last month, and he will vouch for it. Mra tried for a visa from the Chinese government as they charge much less royalty from a climber than the Nepalese counterpart.
