India landslide, 16 people buried
A landslide is believed to have buried at least 16 people in Indian-controlled western Kashmir, police have said.
The deadly landslide occurred in Chadoora, the worst-hit area in the Himalayas, where hundreds of people died in floods in September 2014.

Rescuers last night found six bodies under mud caused by a landslide and are continuing to search for 10 others still missing.
Local police said 237 families had been evacuated, mostly from Chadoora.
Also yesterday, the Indian government issued a flood warning as the Jhelum River rose to alarming levels.
Floods last year in India killed about 300 people, left thousands homeless, destroyed property and infrastructure, and caused an estimated $16 billion in damage.
