At least two persons have been reported missing following a major landslide in Reasi district, a senior government officer said on Tuesday. The officer said that rescuers have intensified their search efforts, deploying over a dozen earthmovers to clear the debris in the affected area. The landslide occurred near Avtar Morh near the remote Chassana area along the under-construction Budhhal-Mahore-Gool road on Monday, Reasi Deputy Commissioner Vishesh Paul Mahajan said. Mahajan confirmed that two persons, including the driver of an earthmover, are reported missing and are believed to be trapped under the debris. Senior civil and police officers are on-site, overseeing the large-scale rescue operation, he said.
