STORYLINE:
Hundreds of rescue workers searched through mud and debris Wednesday from multiple landslides that have killed at least 151 people in southern India, police said.
The multiple landslides occurred after torrential rains triggered torrents of mud and water that swept through tea estates and villages.
Another 186 people were injured by the landslides that hit hilly areas in Kerala state’s Wayanad district early Tuesday, flattening houses, uprooting trees and destroying bridges, said police officer Aijaz, who uses one name.
P. M Manoj, a spokesman for the state’s top elected official, said that 187 people were unaccounted for and 77 bodies have been identified so far and mostly handed to their relatives.
More than a dozen bodies were found overnight, officer Aijaz said, as over 300 rescuers worked to pull out people stuck under mud and debris, but blocked roads and unstable terrain hampered their efforts.
The first landslide occurred at 2 a.m. on Tuesday, followed by another two hours later. Several areas, including Meppadi, Mundakkai and Chooralmala, were isolated, and roads were washed away causing immense damage to homes, said Kerala’s top elected official, Pinarayi Vijayan.
