The body of a truck driver, who was killed in a landslide in Jammu and Kashmir on November 5, was recovered from the debris on Wednesday after nine days, officials said.

The driver, Manjeet Singh, was behind the wheels of the ill-fated truck that was swept away by a landslide in Battery Chashma area of Ramban district in Jammu-Srinagar highway, police said.

Two other persons, who were on board the truck, are still missing and efforts are on to trace them.
