22 killed, 8 missing in Mogok ruby land landslide
Because of heavy rain in Mogok , at least 22 people were killed and 8 people are death or missing by landslide. According to the source from Burma, many houses were also damaged. For the past 700 years, Mogok's 'Valley of Rubies' has been mined for 'pigeon blood' rubies - considered the finest in the world - sapphires and other rare gems.
I am trying to get the photos. But not easy for me because there is no internet connection.

I think this is an important story and would benefit from other NowPublic contributors working on it. I've flagged it as News Wanted and invite others in relevant locations to look for more evidence.
