Rescue teams and excavators conducted search operations on site, where homes collapsed in part buried in fallen stones and mud.

Volunteers were also seen in neighboring areas cooking meals for emergency teams.

Preliminary evaluations showed that the last case happened due to heavy rainfall and local geological conditions, according to CCTV citing geology experts.
