Heavy rain set off a landslide on a famed Hindu pilgrimage route in India’s northern region of Jammu, killing at least 30 people, while floods prompted official warnings for people to stay indoors at night.

Axar.az informs via Reuters, the weather office forecast more rain for the Himalayan region spanning the federal territory of Jammu and Kashmir and mountainous Ladakh.

Authorities were trying to restore telecom services in the region where communication was “almost nonexistent”, said Omar Abdullah, the chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir.

The landslide near the shrine of Vaishno Devi on the pilgrims’ route killed at least 30 people.

Authorities also ordered the closure of educational institutions in Jammu, which weather officials said was deluged with 368 mm of rain on Tuesday.
