"Saddened at the tragic news of the landslide in Arunachal Pradesh. My condolences with all the families in mourning. Prayers for the lives lost," Banerjee said in a tweet.
At least 16 labourers, including one supervisor, were killed when a massive landslide triggered by incessant rains hit a labour camp at Phamla village, six km from Tawang town at 3 am.
