Four more bodies were retrieved on Saturday from the rubble in landslide-hit Akhada Bazaar area of Kullu, sending the toll of deaths caused by the calamity to eight, an official said.

The rescue operation in Bharmaur-Manimahesh in Chamba district was concluded after the 64 remaining stranded pilgrims were airlifted, Chamba Deputy Commissioner Mukesh Repaswal said.

A landslide each on Tuesday and Thursday struck the Akhada Bazaar area, reducing many structures to rubble, Kullu Deputy Commissioner Kullu Torul S Ravish said. One person remains missing.

The four found dead on Saturday were identified as Narendra, a local, and Bakar Ahmed, Hussain Lon, and Tahir Din Ahmed Sheikh, all of them from Kashmir.

According to authorities, 17 people died on the pilgrimage route after being stranded for days.

Repaswal appealed to the general public to share details on helpline number 98166-98166 in case their family members are still missing.

Army helicopters flew rations, medicines, and other essential supplies to the remote region of Bara Bhangal in Kangra district and inaccessible villages in Kullu.

On Saturday, another massive landslide hit Choker village in the Noradhar area of Sirmour district, slicing a 200-metre area of a hill.

The landslide rendered five houses at risk of collapse, officials said.

Locals said the landslide could have been caused by the bursting of an underground water source. The families of endangered houses were shifted to safe places.
