Rains once again disrupt local trains and cause waterlogging in Mumbai, but in north India, there's the added threat of landslides.

A woman was buried alive and 15 others were injured when landslides triggered by incessant rains hit Rishikesh-Badrinath National Highway in
Chamoli district early today.

The landslides have also flattened a tourist resort and a camp of Directorate General of Border Roads (DGBR), police said. Police said a search operation has been launched to find out if any person might be trapped under the debris of the landslides. The area has been receiving rains since yesterday and the search operation is also being hampered by the continuous rain.
