Lucknow (India), 6 August (LaPresse/AP) – Rescuers are searching a devastated Himalayan village in northern India for dozens of missing people, a day after flash floods killed at least four people and left many others trapped under rubble. A wave of water, following heavy rains, swept down steep mountain slopes to Dharali, a mountain village in the state of Uttarakhand, sweeping away homes, roads and a local market. Army and disaster relief teams are searching for dozens of people, including at least 11 Indian Army soldiers, who are believed to be trapped under the rubble. Authorities said four bodies have been recovered so far.
