Monsoon activity turned severe on Tuesday, triggering landslides, floods, building collapses and drownings in several regions. A landslide at a tunnel project in Kerala’s Wayanad killed three people, injured ten and left five missing. In Maharashtra, five houses were buried by a landslide in Ratnagiri, while two boys drowned and two women were injured by falling cement sheets in the Mumbai region. Gujarat recorded five rain-related deaths in two days, four from electrocution, and shifted more than 2,100 people to relief camps. Fresh downpours in Arunachal Pradesh caused flash floods and landslides, pushing the seasonal total affected above 94,000. Rain eased heat in Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh and Jammu and Kashmir but produced waterlogging, traffic jams and a road cave-in near Gurugram. The weather office warned that rainfall will intensify over the next three days.
