A large landslide took place at a road construction site in Ukhimath area of Rudraprayag region in the northern state Uttarakhand on Friday morning

The landslide killed seven labourers who were at work at a road construction site. Three labourers were severely injured and are undergoing treatment.

The news has gotten the administration on their toes which dispatched a disaster response team from SDRF immediately.
