HARIPUR: Two women were buried alive under a landslide in a remote village of Nara Amaza union council in Ghazi tehsil, police and area people said on Saturday.

They said Ishrat Bibi and Zeenat Bibi were busy digging soil for spreading on the rooftops of their houses which is usually done in villages before start of winter, when a heavy mass of soil fell, burying them alive.

The villagers recovered the bodies from underneath the soil.

It was the second incident of similar nature within two days as earlier a labourer was buried alive under a mass of sand while loading a tractor trolley in Ghazi.
