Floods, landslides kill 15 in India, four in Nepal as rivers rise

Heavy rains and storms have unleashed flash floods and deadly mudslides across parts of northern India and neighbouring Nepal, leaving a death toll of at least 19 and 10 workers missing as multiple rivers breached danger marks.

In Nepal, several districts reported flooded villages and obstructed arterial roads, with rescue authorities evacuating vulnerable populations residing near steep slopes and overflowing riverbanks.

Disaster relief authorities in India deployed specialized emergency personnel and watercraft to conduct rescue operations and deliver emergency supplies to cut-off communities.
