Itanagar, Jul 12 (IBNS): Rescue operations are in full swing to retrieve bodies of those killed in a massive landslide at Laptap village in Sagalee, Arunachal Pradesh, according to media reports on Wednesday.

On July 11, a massive landslide triggered by heavy rainfall, washed away five houses, local reports said.

Around 14 people are feared dead in the incident and several injured media reports said.

Several landslides en route delayed the rescue team from reaching the site, reports said.

According to media reports, a week ago, nearly 150 people were trapped in another landslide, for three days. They were later rescued by the Indian Air Force. During the rescue mission, one IAF helicopter crashed leading to the death of four people.
