The incident took place around 3 a.m. on Saturday, when workers were asleep, reports say. It affected around 70 huts with sleeping workers who were buried under the debris. The cause of the landslide is unknown, although the mines and soil dump sites are dangerous and workers picking through the slag piles for jade often face life threatening situations.
