At least 40 people are feared trapped under debris in a huge landslide in the northern Indian state of Himachal Pradesh, APA reports citing BBC.
Falling boulders have buried a truck, a passenger bus and other vehicles, according to local reports.
Police and local officials have begun rescue efforts, said Jairam Thakur, chief minister of Himachal Pradesh.
There have been several deadly landslides in India in recent months during an unusually heavy monsoon.
It's still unclear what caused Wednesday's landslide - it happened on a highway in Kinnaur district.
Indo-Tibetan Border Police teams have been dispatched to help with rescue efforts and the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) has also been put on alert.
