Jammu, May 22, 2022 (PPI-OT):In Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, nine more bodies were recovered from the landslide outside the mouth of a tunnel in Khooni Nallah, area on the Jammu-Srinagar Highway, thereby taking the death toll to 10.

The operation to rescue nine labourers feared trapped under the debris resumed after a fresh landslide had forced the authorities to suspend the process. The body of one person was recovered on Friday, while three others, including two locals, were rescued and are stable.

Officials said that another body was pulled out after several hours of intense search. It took them over two hours to pull out the body from under the rocks. Eight more bodies were later pulled out. Earlier, the officials had said that a portion of the under-construction tunnel collapsed soon after the work on the project started.
