“We were not expecting something like this (an incident where a portion of a mountain falls apart in Makerkote),” he said.
Two machines have been stuck under the debris of the landslide. “Due to wind storms, the rescue operation was impacted. 16-17 hours of operation were wasted. We will have to make a new assessment,” Islam told ANI. One labourer has been killed, while nine others are feared to be trapped under the debris. Three injured were evacuated yesterday.
