57th victim of Tongariro Alpine Crossing (since 2008) was another Indian tourist
Posted by te2ataria on October 3, 2018
NZ government (police and Ministry of Resurrection) under-report road fatalities in the same way Puerto Rican officials (US Govt) misled the world following Hurricane Maria. Death toll from the deadly storm was reported as only 64, instead of 2,975 as scientifically researched. About two-thirds of road fatalities in NZ go unreported, or unrecorded! [See entries under Ministry of Resurrection.]

The Final Destination: Sateesh Babu from Bangalore, India killed in NZ
Once again, New Zealand was the Final Destination for a foreign tourist. Sateesh Babu Halehally-Chikkanna, 54, a tourist from Bangalore, India froze to death on Tongariro Alpine Crossing.
It was too soon to know how the incident happened, but sticking together as a group is the recommended policy, Mountain Safety Council chief executive Mike Daisley said.
“People who get separated from their group make up a mere 5 per cent of the total tramping fatalities in the last 10 years. Hypothermia contributed 6 of the 57 fatalities during that period,” Daisley added.

It’s incredible that only about a dozen of the 57 fatalities on Tongariro Alpine Crossing have been reported by NZ police/media since 2008.
Best wishes,
