The number of Assam residents killed in the landslide in Manipur's Noney district last month has reached 15 with recovery of two more bodies, an official said on Tuesday.
Another six people from Assam are still missing, he said. Bodies of two persons from Morigaon district, who were engaged as labourers at the Tupul railway yard construction site when the landslide occurred, were retrieved from under the debris on Monday, he said.
"The bodies are in a decomposed condition, and the Manipur government is yet to decide whether these will be sent here or not," the official said. Four more persons from the district are still missing with multiple agencies continuing the search operation at the site, he said.
