DELHI — On Monday, the monsoon season brought catastrophic floods and landslides to northern India, claiming at least 25 lives.
The deluges swept through densely populated rural districts, submerging homes and uprooting trees. Rescue teams were dispatched to affected villages.
Rescue operations are intensifying as more villages are cut off, according to reports from other news platforms.
The death toll has risen as heavy rains continue, with more casualties expected as emergency services work to reach isolated hamlets.
Local authorities have called for additional resources, but supplies remain limited amid widespread damage to infrastructure.
The scale of the disaster prompted officials to warn of further flooding as monsoon rains are projected to persist over the coming days.
