Falling rocks forced rescuers to suspend their search on Thursday for victims of a large landslide that swept across a highway in the mountains of northern India a day earlier, killing at least 14 people.

The rescuers pulled back after loose rocks began falling at the site, said district administrator Abid Hussain Sadiq.
