Hundreds of rescuers and nine sniffer dogs have been deployed in the search at the hydropower site, after a landslide on Sunday morning saw a dormitory buried under mud and rocks.
Rescue teams began work at the site again this morning after the search was suspended for two hours due to heavy rain. Blocked roads, poor weather and the threat of further landslides have all hampered rescue work.
