Torrential rains kill at least 21 people in Tajikistan

Al Jazeera  

Three days of rains cause flooding, landslides and mudflows, killing people in three towns in the centre of the country. At least 21 people have died as three days of torrential rains have caused flooding, landslides and mudflows in Tajikistan, the latest natural disaster to hit the mountainous Central Asian country. The government said on Monday that the risk of landslides remained high due to the heavy rains, and it warned people to remain cautious, especially around Tajikistan’s mountains. In February, dozens of avalanches, landslides and rockfalls struck Upper Badakhshan, an autonomous region in the south, bordering Afghanistan, China and Kyrgyzstan, that is surrounded by the Pamir Mountains.
