Flash floods sweep through Hindu shrine during annual pilgrimage
At least 16 people have been killed and dozens missing after a sudden cloudburst triggered flash floods during an annual Hindu pilgrimage in India’s Kashmir region.
Around 10,000 people were camped near the remote Amarnath temple when a sudden downpour triggered a deluge.
The cloudburst on July 8 near the mountain cave sent a raging wall of water down a gorge before sweeping away about two dozen camps and two makeshift kitchens, officials said.
Footage from the scene captures the fast-flowing river of water rushing into an area packed with tents.
