India landslide

INDIA: Hundreds of rescue workers searched through mud and debris today from multiple landslides that have killed at least 151 people in southern India, police said.

The landslides occurred after torrential rains triggered torrents of mud and water that swept through tea estates and villages.

Another 186 people were injured by the landslides that hit hilly areas in Kerala state’s Wayanad district early Tuesday, flattening houses, uprooting trees and destroying bridges, said police officer Aijaz, who uses one name.
