Landslides in India triggered by pounding monsoon rains have killed at least 24 people with hundreds more feared trapped under mud and debris, officials said Tuesday.
The southern coastal state of Kerala has been battered by torrential downpours, and the collapse of a key bridge at the disaster site in Wayanad district has hampered rescue efforts, according to local media reports.
“So far, we have received 24 bodies in different hospitals,” Kerala state health minister Reena George told the Press Trust of India news agency.
“Many are injured, they are under treatment” in district hospitals, she added.
