An avalanche near the India-China border resulted in four deaths and four missing workers. Rescue efforts, hindered by deep snow and harsh weather, retrieved bodies and saved 47 workers, while the search for the missing continues.

Officials in India say more than 40 construction workers are missing after an avalanche hit their camp in Uttarakhand state.

At least four people died from their injuries in India after an avalanche hit a remote border area, officials said on Saturday, as rescuers deployed helicopters to search for the remaining five missing.
