SHIMLA, India:\u00a0At least 15 people were killed in India after heavy monsoon rains triggered flash floods and landslides near the Himalayan foothills, authorities said on Saturday (Aug 20).<\/span><\/p>\n

Flooding and landslides are common and cause widespread devastation during India’s treacherous monsoon season.<\/p>\n

Experts say climate change is increasing the number of extreme weather events around the world, with damming, deforestation and development projects in India exacerbating the human toll.<\/p>\n

Rescue officials were rushed to Mandi district in the northern state of Himachal Pradesh where a torrent of floodwater swept away two houses and killed eight people, a government statement said.<\/p>\n

Landslides and flooding claimed seven other lives across the state, the release added.<\/p>\n

Television news footage showed part of a railway bridge washed away by the deluge in nearby Kangra district.<\/p>\n

In Hamipur district, flash floods stranded 19 people on the rooftops of local buildings before they were rescued by disaster response teams.<\/p>\n

Schools were closed in the worst-affected districts.<\/p>\n

Picturesque Himachal Pradesh is famed for its snow-capped mountains and is popular with tourists.<\/p>\n

Last month, eight people died after flash floods triggered by a sudden downpour struck a camp for pilgrims in nearby Kashmir.<\/p>\n

Heavy rains battered India’s remote northeast in June, with nearly 40 killed in a landslide that swamped a camp housing railway workers and army reservists in Manipur state.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
