Shimla: A cloudburst in the mountainous Indian state of Himachal Pradesh that triggered a flash flood and mudslide, has killed at least seven people on Monday, officials said.

The disaster took place at around 1.30 a.m. at Solan district’s Jadon village, some 60 km from the state capital.

According to officials, four bodies have been recovered and five rescued.

A rescue operation is underway despite intermittent rain to trace three missing persons.

Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh said he was devastated to hear about the loss of seven lives.

“My heartfelt condolences go out to the grieving families. We share in your pain and sorrow during this difficult time. We have directed the authorities to ensure all possible assistance and support to the affected families during this trying period,” he said in a statement.
