That feat was achieved back in 2019.
In 2013, Priyanka climbed Mount Everest and Mount Lhotse was scaled in 2018.
Needless to say, her achievement did not go unnoticed on Twitter and the internet exploded. Here's what people said:

10th highest but probably the most dangerous of all eight thousanders

The Kathmandu Post reported that 68 women scaled Mount Annapurna that day. It's the most in terms of the number of climbers to reach the top of the mountain in one day.
