CDO Gelal informed that the search for the missing will remain disrupted for sometime as avalanches were continuing in the Langtang area.
The four injured army men, who have been undergoing treatment in Kathmandu, are now out of danger, as per a Nepal Army source.
"The NA's rescue team will cancel the search operation until the avalanches stop," said he.
As per the NA source, the avalanche occurred in the area all of a sudden while NA personnel were busy in the rescue operation to find out the missing from the previous avalanches.
Putting their lives at risk, NA men were exhuming the bodies that remained buried in snow.
