Mountainous areas of India, as well as Pakistan and Nepal, have been hit by torrential rains, flooding and landslides in recent months, killing scores of people.
At least 14 people were killed and 102 others — including 22 army personnel — were missing in northeast India after heavy rain caused a glacial lake to burst its banks, triggering flash floods down a mountain valley.
"The search operations are being undertaken under conditions of incessant rains, fast-flowing water in Teesta river, roads and bridges washed away at many places," a defence spokesperson said on Monday on the X social media platform, formerly known as Twitter. The state disaster management agency said 26 people were injured and 102 were missing, as of early Thursday. Eleven bridges were washed away.Video footage from the ANI news agency, showed flood waters surging into built-up areas where several houses collapsed, army bases and other facilities were damaged and vehicles submerged.
Other mountainous areas of India, as well as parts of neighbouring Pakistan and Nepal have been hit by torrential rains, flooding and landslides in recent months, killing scores of people.
