Flash floods kill 130 in Kashmir

Rescue efforts were stepped up today as the weather improved, a day after flash floods sent rivers of mud down desert mountainsides in Indian-controlled Kashmir, killing at least 130 people and injuring 400 others, officials said.

Twenty-seven more bodies were recovered from collapsed homes in the remote Himalayan region of Ladakh, police chief Kuldeep Khoda said. Rescuers found 103 bodies on Friday.
