Live Mint  

A mudslide triggered by heavy monsoon rain and flooding killed at least nine people and buried 20 homes of tea plantation workers in southern India on Friday, police said. Kerala state's top elected official, Pinarayi Vijayan, tweeted that teams from the National Disaster Response Force were on their way to Idukki district's Rajamalai area, where the mudslide occurred. The Press Trust of India news agency said police and fire service officers were in the area. A Hindu temple in Ernakulam district on the bank of the Periyar River was almost submerged as water levels rose after sluice gates of a dam were opened.
