Landslide kills 46 in India
MUMBAI (Reuters) - At least forty-six people were killed in a landslide triggered by heavy rains in the northern Indian state of Uttarakhand, police said on Sunday.
Three villages in the hilly Pithoragarh district were swept away in the landslide after a cloudburst on Saturday, local police official MS Sathnam said.
Seventeen bodies have so far been recovered, he said, with rescue efforts on Saturday by local emergency personnel and the Indo-Tibetan Border Police hampered by bad weather.
It has stopped raining now, and rescue work is underway in full swing, he said.
