> Crews clearing the G216 have reached the final kilometer toward Gyirong Port, where a sharp bend, limited space and fast river currents are slowing progress. China has mobilized 2,141 rescuers to search the mudslide zone, where 16 people died and 546 remain missing after an ice-rock avalanche in Nepal triggered the disaster.
