Rescuers in India waded through knee-deep mud and debris Saturday in a grim search for survivors as the death toll from heavy monsoon rains climbed to 115, with nearly 100,000 others evacuated.
Torrential downpours have lashed India’s western coast in recent days, leaving dozens missing near the financial capital Mumbai and causing the worst floods in decades in the resort state of Goa.
A landslide in the hillside village of Taliye, south of Mumbai, left just two concrete structures standing, flattening dozens of homes in a matter of minutes, witnesses told AFP. “It happened so quickly,” said Dilip Pandey, who saw the disaster unfold on Thursday evening. “There was a huge whooshing sound and the village just collapsed,” he told AFP.

गेल्या काही दिवसांपासून पडणाऱया मुसळधार पावसामुळे साताऱयासह सांगली, कोल्हापूर, कोकणात जनजीवन विस्कळीत झाले आहे. अनेक मार्गावर दरडी कोसळल्या आहेत. धरणे भरल्याने पाण्याचा विसर्ग करण्यात येत आहे. काही गावांचा संपर्क तुटला आहे. यामुळे प्रवास थांबला आहे. यांचा फटका एसटी बसला ही बसला असून जिह्यातील 136 फेऱया रद्द झाल्या आहेत.
