At least 20 people were killed when a landslide triggered by heavy rain flattened Malin village, 110 km from Pune city, on Wednesday morning. Officials said the death toll was expected to mount as at least 150 people were missing after the landslide, which struck in the early hours when most of the villagers, especially children, were sleeping.

By late evening, 20 bodies were recovered from the mound of mud and debris that came down from a nearby hillock, swallowing up almost the entire tribal village of around 50 families. Officials said 20 seriously injured people were rescued from the debris.

Rescue operations halted for two hours.
