Indian climber Anurag Maloo, who was miraculously rescued after falling into a deep crevasse on Mount Annapurna in Nepal, was revived on Monday at Mediciti Hospital here.

Day after losing hope when Maloo showed signs of “gangrene” caused by frostbites, doctors on Monday said they were now optimistic as Maloo showed ‘dramatic response’ to the treatment.
