A 40-year-old Nepali labourer died while several apple orchards were damaged in massive landslides in Himachal Pradesh's Kinnaur district on Thursday, police said.
A permanent resident of Delakh village in Nepal's Bardiya district, the victim Subash Bahadur was working as a caretaker for Pangi resident Sanam Guru's orchard for about a decade.
Kinnaur Superintendent of Police Saju Ram Rana said the Nepal national was in the house located in the orchard when massive landslides hit Pangi village in Kalpa.
A number of labourers working in various orchards saved themselves as they ran helter-skelter on seeing boulders coming towards them from hilltops.
A number of apple orchards were damaged due to landslides.
Patwari Shamsher and the police visited the spot following the disaster.
