Tupul

Rescue work at the site of the landslide in Manipur that claimed at least 56 lives could be called off this evening, 20 days after the tragedy.

Environmentalists say activities like vegetation clearing and slope-cutting have left the soil very loose and vulnerable to erosion in the area.

At least eight people from Assam, including one army jawan, have died in a massive landslide at the Tupul railway yard construction site in Manipur's Noney district, Assam cabinet minister Pijush Hazarika said.
