Monsoon floods kill at least 23

At least 23 people have died and around 50 others are missing after three days of torrential rain washed away buildings and roads in northern India.

A landslide triggered by the monsoon rains buried a bus, killing three people. At least three other people were washed away when a three-storey apartment building toppled into a river.

More than 10,000 pilgrims stranded along a mountain pass leading to a Hindu religious site were being evacuated by helicopter.
