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.

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.
