Landslides trap 150 people or more in western India
Landslides caused by heavy monsoon rains may have trapped 150 people
or more in a village in western India, a senior official said
Wednesday.
At least eight bodies had
been recovered Wednesday as the search continued. Two survivors were
pulled out with injuries, said Suresh Jadhav, a district administrator
in Maharashtra state.
"There are reports that up to 30 to 40 houses have been affected," Jadhav said.
About 50 ambulances and 200 volunteers were sent to the scene to help with the rescue effort, he said. The landslides were reported around midnight in Malin, a village in Maharashtra's Pune district, near Mumbai.
