Two people died when their house was hit by a massive landslide triggered by incessant downpour, near Punjabi Dhaba, police said on Monday. A woman is suspected to be trapped inside the bamboo house with a tin roof, which came crashing down Sunday night due to the impact of the landslide, Capital Superintendent of Police (SP) Jimmy Chiram said.

While two bodies have been retrieved from the debris, the fate of the woman is yet to be known, he said. An operation is underway to rescue her, but the inclement weather is a major impediment, the SP added.
