Chinese rescue crews have recovered a total of 54 bodies in the aftermath of a huge landslide in Tibet that buried more than 80 mine workers, state television reported on Tuesday.
China Central Television reported that operations resumed on Tuesday morning after being suspended on Monday due to fears of more landslides in the area.
A total of 36 bodies had been recovered by Monday before operations were suspended, state media reported previously. The latest total would mean that 29 miners were still missing.
The disaster struck on Friday when the landslide crashed down a mountain east of the Tibetan regional capital of Lhasa onto a mine workers' camp and buried 83 people.
