Flooding and landslides are common and cause widespread devastation during India's monsoon
DEHRADUN – Monsoon downpours caused flash floods that killed 13 people in India's Himalayan foothills, officials said on Friday, with helicopters rescuing hundreds stranded near a renowned Hindu shrine.
Thirteen deaths have been reported across the northern state of Uttarakhand so far, disaster official Vinod Kumar Suman told AFP. It is thronged by thousands of pilgrims each year at a time when the annual monsoon downpours are at their peak. They are also vital for agriculture, and therefore the livelihoods of millions of farmers and food security for South Asia's nearly two billion people.
