In a devastating incident, landslides swept through tea estates in Kerala's Wayanad district, killing over 150 people.

Torrential rains on Monday night triggered the collapse of hillsides, unleashing rivers of mud, water, and boulders onto the homes of estate workers and villagers.

Kerala, a renowned tourist destination, is grappling with extremely heavy rainfall in its north and central regions, with more rain predicted throughout Tuesday.

Rescue operations are underway as authorities race against time to find survivors amidst the wreckage.
