Two persons among 20 people buried by a landslide were pulled out  alive but in serious condition at a village in Okhaldunga Thursday night, police said.

Bodies of two other persons have been  pulled out of the rubble as rescue workers continued efforts to pull out others buried under tons of mud and rock in stormy weather Friday, police said.

Hopes of  finding others alive are slim, police said. The landslide swooped down on Dakra village at 6.60 PM after three hours of heavy rain.
