Huge Landslide has killed 12 construction workers in Kashmir in India. Workers got buried under two lorries.

Police in Indian-administered Kashmir say at least a dozen labourers are feared killed in a huge landslide.
The men were trapped under rocks and earth in Kishtwar district, about 160km (100 miles) south-east of Srinagar.
"It was a massive landslide. Two lorries are buried under huge boulders," senior local police official Mumtaz Ahmed told the BBC.
He said three bodies had been recovered so far. Unofficial reports suggest the number of casualties may be far higher.
