TIL Desk/Lucknow- After scaling Mount Vinson Massif, the highest peak in Antartica, earlier this year, IPS officer Aparna Kumar has become the first lady IPS officer to scale Mount Everest.
Aparna, a 2002 batch IPS officer and DIG Telecom in UP Police, scaled Mount Everest on Saturday at around 11.02 am in her third attempt. In her previous two attempts, an avalanche in 2014 and an earthquake in 2015 prevented her from completing her quest.
With Mount Everest under her belt, Aparna has also become the first civil servant to scale the highest peaks of six out of seven continents.
“She unfurled the national tricolour and flag of UP Police at the summit. A proud moment for the nation and UP Police,” said Sanjay Kumar, Aparna’s husband and also the District Magistrate of Allahabad.
In March 2015, she was conferred the ‘Rani Lakshmi Bai Puraskar’ by chief minister Akhilesh Yadav for her achievements and for being a role model to women.
