Two persons were killed and three others injured on Sunday when a landslide struck a remote village in Jammu and Kashmir's Ramban district, police said.

A group of labourers was on way to Banihal on foot when they got trapped under the debris after the landslide occurred at Khari-Mahoo road near Aarmarg in the morning, a police officer said.

The locals pulled out the body of Mohammad Qasim Gujjar (33), a resident of Aarmarg, from underneath the rubble, while four others injured were shifted to a hospital.

Critically injured Abdulah Gujjar (61) was referred to a hospital in Srinagar but succumbed to his injuries, the officer added.
