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.

One of the 48 workers of the Border Roads Organisation (BRO), who were rescued from the debris of an avalanche that hit Uttarakhand's Chamoli on Friday, died during treatment for injuries. Seven are yet to be retrieved.
