More than 100 people are missing and at least one has died after devastating flash floods in the northern Indian state of Uttarakhand.
Rescue operations are under way in Uttarkashi district after a massive wave of water surged down the mountains into Dharali village on Tuesday, submerging roads and buildings in its path.
About 190 people have been rescued so far in the affected region, Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami said.
A cloudburst is an extreme, sudden downpour of rain over a small area in a short period of time, often leading to flash floods.
