India s western coast was hit by severe rainstorms over several days.
MUMBAI (AFP) - Rescuers waded through waist-deep mud in western India Monday to reach injured residents and start a massive clean-up after heavy monsoon rains triggered landslides and floods that killed 159 people.
India’s western coast was hit by severe rainstorms over several days, with a quarter of a million people evacuated from their homes in three states and power cut across vast areas.
Experts say climate change is increasing the frequency and intensity of the annual deluge which is critical to replenishing rivers and groundwater but also causes widespread death and destruction.
