Flood in India

heavy downpours in India triggered landslides and flash floods on 17 August, causing widespread damage in several areas, including Panarsa, Takoli, and Nagwain.

Debris flooded multiple houses, forcing residents to evacuate to safer locations. The death toll was not immediately confirmed. Rescue operations were underway across the affected areas, with teams deployed to assist residents.

Authorities advised people to stay away from rivers and streams, many of which had overflowed due to the torrential rainfall.
