Leh: The Indian Army and police on Saturday rescued 400 civilians trapped in landslides at Khardung La Pass, the world's highest motorable road, reports PTI.

The civilians, including women and children, in 150 vehicles were trapped since last evening in multiple landslides in a stretch of 10 km at Khardung La on the Leh-Nubra road, Northern Command Army Spokesperson Rajesh Kalia said today.

The vehicles were trapped between South and North Pullu and the rescue operations were started last night. 120 people were administered oxygen as oxygen levels were low in the area, officials said.

Dear Moneylife foundation,
You have been conducting regular progrms to educate the investors. But you are mostly limited to Mumbai, financial capitl of India.

I'm regular reader of your blogs and articles at office. After working in front of computer for 10 to 12 hours, its pain to open internet again after reaching home, so missing original videos.
Can you please think of providing the recorded versions of these educaiton programs in a DVD pack at nomincal rates. So that, maximum members can utilise them.

Also, the "Ask Question" window is not working on Internet Explorer 7.0 please check.
