Unprecedented rains lashed India’s northeastern states and neighbouring Bangladesh, killing more than 150 people.


Rescuers in India's northeast have recovered 20 dead bodies from the site of a landslide that buried a railway construction camp, the army said, after a second day of search efforts.
As per details, security forces and disaster relief teams are still racing to rescue dozens more feared trapped under debris.
Reportedly, most of the victims were reserve soldiers from the Territorial Army who had been working on the railway project.
Experts say climate change is increasing the number of extreme weather events around the world, with damming, deforestation and development projects in India exacerbating the human toll.
This month, unprecedented rains lashed India’s northeastern states and neighbouring Bangladesh, killing more than 150 people.
Millions have been displaced by the catastrophic floods in recent weeks, and in some low-lying areas, houses have been submerged.
Army helicopters were on standby and assisting in rescue operations at the site of the landslide, a statement from the Indian army said.
