At least 25 people have been killed after flash floods and landslides struck parts of northern India, causing widespread destruction and forcing emergency rescue operations.
Heavy monsoon rains triggered the disaster, sweeping away homes, blocking roads, and cutting off several communities. Rescue teams, assisted by local authorities and disaster response agencies, are continuing search-and-rescue efforts in the affected areas.
Officials warned that the death toll could rise as many people remain missing and emergency workers struggle to reach remote villages due to damaged infrastructure and hazardous conditions.
Thousands of residents have been displaced, with many taking shelter in temporary relief camps. Authorities have begun distributing food, clean water, and medical supplies to those affected.
The Indian Meteorological Department has forecast more heavy rainfall in the coming days, prompting authorities to issue fresh warnings and urge people living in vulnerable areas to remain alert and evacuate if necessary.
