At least 48 people have died and many more are thought to be trapped after heavy monsoon rains caused floods and landslides in India’s Himalayan region.
Among the worst hit was the Mandi district in the northern state Uttar Pradesh, where 19 bodies were recovered by rescuers, officials told the Press Trust of India news agency.
Fourteen more bodies were recovered from under the debris after two landslides in Shimla, the state’s capital, authorities told the Press Trust of India (PTI) news agency.
Torrential downpours have flooded roads and washed away homes as scores of rescuers work to help those trapped under piles of debris.
