Rescuers in Indian Kashmir used shovels and earthmovers to search for survivors under boulders and debris a day after sudden floods triggered by heavy rains killed at least 60 people.

In neighbouring Nepal, at least 41 people have died, 21 are missing and 121 injured in floods, heavy rains, landslides and hailstorms since early monsoon rains started in June this year, according to data provided by the country's disaster management authority.
