Apart from them, five of the 29 Nepali labourers reported missing initially have been contacted after the restoration of the mobile network, and authorities said they are hopeful that the others will also be traced.

Due to the inclement weather, rescuers had to temporarily halt their search for the missing people in the debris, officials said.
