Rescuers in India search for missing after landslides kill 24 in Darjeeling region

Rescuers were scouring India's northeastern tea-growing hill district of Darjeeling on Monday for missing people a day after landslides triggered by heavy downpours killed at least 24, officials said. Teams of Indian army and disaster force rescuers were searching for the missing who are feared trapped under mounds of debris, said Udayan Guha, West Bengal state development minister. Downpours and road damage hampered efforts to reach several affected villages, officials said.
