At least 123 people have been killed and dozens are still feared trapped after heavy rains triggered massive landslides in the southern Indian state of Kerala.
The landslides struck hilly areas in Wayanad district in the early hours of Tuesday when most residents were asleep.
Rescue operations are under way, but are being hindered by heavy rain and the collapse of a crucial bridge.
Authorities fear the number of casualties will rise further as about 100 people remain trapped in areas the emergency services cannot yet reach.
