Dozens dead in flash floods on popular Himalayas pilgrimage route

(BBC News) Flash floods have killed at least 46 people in a village hosting Hindu pilgrims in Indian-administered Kashmir.

The flooding took place in the remote village of Chositi in Kishtwar district, which is on a busy pilgrimage route to a famous shrine in the Himalayas.

Videos shared online showed dramatic flood waters, vehicles being washed away and rescuers searching for survivors in damaged homes, as people cried in the streets — some caked in mud.

Dozens of pilgrims have been evacuated to safety, but at least 50 people are feared missing, and a rescue operation is still under way.
