BHUBANESWAR/KATHMANDU: Heavy rain and storms have caused floods and landslides across parts of India and Nepal. At least 19 people have died in the disasters.

Ten workers are also missing after an avalanche struck a mountain base camp in Nepal. Rivers in several areas have risen above dangerous levels.

In India, Uttar Pradesh has reported the highest number of deaths. State authorities said 15 people were killed during the past 48 hours.

Five other people were injured during the severe weather. Officials also reported damage to 117 houses across the state.

Heavy rain and storms affected 63 districts in Uttar Pradesh. The state received rainfall 19 times higher than normal during the 24 hours ending Saturday.

Authorities have continued to monitor river levels as the situation develops. Several rivers have risen above their danger marks.

The Central Water Commission said 30 monitoring stations were in a severe situation. These stations are located across seven Indian states.

Water levels were between designated danger marks and previous record flood levels. The Ganga, Gandak, Kosi, Bagmati and Narmada rivers were among those affected.

Nepal has also faced serious weather-related damage. Four people died after a landslide buried their house in Nishi Khola village.

The incident occurred in Baglung district while the family was sleeping. The victims included three children and a woman.

Meanwhile, 10 Nepali workers are missing in northern Manang district. An avalanche buried the base camp of the 7,126-metre Himlung Himal.

The workers were preparing tents for foreign climbers. Officials said the climbers were not at the camp when the avalanche struck.

Nepalese authorities have warned of possible flash floods in 49 districts. More than half of the country faces high flood or flash-flood risks.

Water levels in major rivers and tributaries are continuing to rise. Officials have urged residents in vulnerable areas to remain alert.

Authorities also mentioned Rasuwa and Nuwakot, which suffered deadly floods last month. Those floods killed more than 1,450 people and left thousands missing.

Officials said both districts should remain cautious. However, they were not considered high-risk areas at the time.

Flooding in the Rahuganga River also damaged a 40-megawatt hydropower project. The damage affected parts of its structure and transmission-line towers.

Nepal’s Water Resources and Energy Ministry said a technical team was sent to assess the damage. The team will also work on restoring the project.

Flood and landslide damage has affected communications in several parts of Nepal. Optical fibre networks and power supplies were damaged.
