Widespread flooding has hit several parts of northern India, officials said, with more thunderstorms forecast for Wednesday as local media reported that 10,000 people were evacuated from the river banks in capital Delhi.
The monsoon season in India has been particularly intense this year, killing at least 130 people in August alone in north India, wiping out villages and destroying infrastructure.
Officials reported that nearly 10,000 people were moved from riverbanks in Delhi after the Yamuna breached its danger mark, while landslides and rising rivers disrupted roads and isolated parts of Jammu, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, and Punjab.
Recent incidents include a mother and daughter killed by a collapsed wall in Rajouri, Jammu and Kashmir, and three fatalities in Mandi district, Himachal Pradesh, with others feared trapped under debris.
Three people were killed in Mandi district in the latest landslide, state Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu said on Wednesday, and two more were feared trapped under the debris.
Authorities have ordered schools to close and urged residents to stay indoors.
Meteorologists warn that more heavy rains are expected in Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, and surrounding areas, keeping communities on high alert.
