Shimla: Three members of a family have died in Himachal Pradesh's Chamba district after being buried under snow, an official said on Wednesday.

The dead included two children. All three died when a huge mass of snow fell on their house Tuesday night in Udan Bhtoi village near Killar, Pangi Resident Commissioner Gopal Sharma told on the phone.

"The entire Pangi region has received more than 10 feet of snow and has been cut off from the rest of the country for days," he said. The accident spot is some 650 km from Shimla.
