More than 34 people have been declared missing after heavy rain triggered a landslide at a construction site in China’s south-eastern provenance.

Another seven have also been injured when the landslide struck a temporary shelter.

As of now no deaths have been confirmed.

100,000 cubic metres of debris flowed downhill during the heavy rain into the Taining County that buried a power station that was under construction.

China's President Xi Jinping had urged "maximum efforts" to rescue the workers.

Deadly landslides are common in China.
