Rescue operations underway after landslides in India's Kerala kill over 160
Nearly 1,000 people have been rescued after landslides in the hills of Wayanad district in India's Kerala state, authorities say, with at least 165 people dead and many still missing.
Heavy rain in one of India's most attractive tourist destinations collapsed hillsides early on Tuesday, sending torrents of mud, water and tumbling boulders through tea and cardamom estates and small settlements.
After a day of extremely heavy rainfall that hampered rescue operations, the weather department expects some respite on Wednesday, although the area is likely to receive rain through the day.
It was the worst disaster in the state since deadly floods in 2018.
