Heavy rains trigger floods, landslides killing 18 in India's Darjeeling

Several people were still missing on Monday, as relief and restoration work got underway, said local government officials in India's state of West Bengal, warning that the death toll was likely to rise as details flowed in from remote areas. "Two iron bridges have collapsed, several roads have been damaged and flooded, huge tracts of land ... have been inundated," Mamata Banerjee, the state's chief minister, said in a post on X.
