Beijing, April 1: The massive landslide that engulfed a gold mine in Tibet was result of "aggressive expansion" of the colliery in which fewer Tibetans are employed, Tibet's government in exile has alleged, as rescuers found 17 bodies out of the 83 miners buried in the avalanche.
Fifteen more bodies were retrieved today at the site of landslide in southwest China's Tibet Autonomous Region, taking the number of total bodies recovered to 17 since the landslide occurred two days ago in Maizhokunggar County, about 68 km from regional capital Lhasa, rescuers said.
