Authorities introduce new safety measures in Hpakant
Amid warnings of fresh disaster beneath the lowering waste tips, Kachin State government officials and civil society are mobilising to protect local residents and demand accountability from the companies they blame for the death of more than 100 people.
Rescuers have abandoned attempts to recover any more than the 114 bodies they dug out from the ruins of a slag heap after the 21 November landslide at San Kat Kuu village, Hpakant, Kachin State.
