Torrential monsoon rains unleashed devastating floods and landslides across northern and northeastern India over the weekend, leaving at least 25 people dead, officials confirmed Monday. Forecasters are warning that the dangerous weather is far from over.<\/p>

In Indian-administered Kashmir, at least 15 people lost their lives in separate rain-related disasters across the Poonch, Rajouri, and Doda districts, according to a senior police official. A number of additional residents are still unaccounted for.<\/p>

The northeastern state of Nagaland was also hard hit, where relentless rainfall set off multiple landslides that killed nine people. Rescue teams have so far recovered four bodies, a senior district official told Reuters.<\/p>

In the neighboring state of Assam, floodwaters claimed one life on Sunday. State disaster management officials reported that more than 57,000 residents spread across seven districts have been impacted by the severe rainfall.<\/p>

India’s national weather office issued a warning on social media platform X, stating: “Active monsoon conditions are likely to persist over northwest, east and northeast India during the next 6\u20137 days.”<\/p>

The deadly weather has also extended into Nepal, a neighboring Himalayan nation. Since the monsoon season began in mid-June, 27 people have been killed, one person remains missing, and 69 others have been injured due to floods, landslides, heavy rain, and lightning strikes, according to the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority.<\/p>

Several major roads in Nepal have been blocked by landslide debris, including the highway connecting the capital city of Kathmandu to the southern plains, police said Monday.<\/p>

Nepal’s weather department called for light to moderate rainfall across most of the country Monday, with heavier rain expected at isolated spots in the Koshi, Bagmati, Gandaki, and Lumbini provinces.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
