Aug. 10 (UPI) -- At least 26 died in landslides in India's Kerala district caused by rainfall, and 69 tourists are stranded at a resort, officials said on Friday.
Rains in the mountainous Indikki district, an area in southern India famous for growing tea, led to landslides that have buried villages and blocked roads. The tourists, including 20 foreigners, are marooned at the Hotel Plum Judy resort. The Indian military was called to aid the National Disaster Response Force in rescuing the tourists, NDTV reported on Friday.
