At least 15 people have been killed in a landslide in the Tawang area of Arunachal Pradesh, with several feared buried. An NDRF team has left for the spot, even as rescue operations are on.

The landslide swept through a labor camp at a construction site in Tawang. Three workers escaped from the camp at an altitude of more than 3,000 meters (7,500 feet).

Incessant rain for the past week has triggered the landslide.
