Rescuers in northern Myanmar call-off their search for workers
Dec 28
Rescuers in northern Myanmar called-off their search for workers feared buried in a jade mine landslide, with no missing people or bodies recovered. A wall of rocks, mud and debris careered down a hillside on Friday afternoon at Hpakant in Kachin state, the war torn area that is the epicentre of Myanmar’s secretive multi-billion dollar jade industry. Locals reported as many as 50 people might have been buried. However officials said, only three men had been reported missing. Sunday, a police officer in Hpakant said rescue efforts were called-off because the risk of further landslides was too great.
