YHAI mishap?

Does anyone have news of a mishap in Himachal in which two people passed away? I read this in a small column of a regional newspaper today morning. It said that the trip was arranged by Youth Hostel team. It's supposed to be a weather related mishap - the two people were 40 and 51 yrs old respectively. Rest of the crew is safe.

Both of them were women from Mumbai. It's really sad. As the report says one of them was with her husband & they were experienced trekers.
