Himachal Pradesh: Moment homes destroyed as huge landslide carves cliff away in front of screaming witnesses

Almost 60 people have died after heavy rain triggered several landslides and flash floods in the northern Indian state of Hilmachal Pradesh.

At least nine people were killed when a temple collapsed in the state’s capital, Shimla, with fears many others are still trapped beneath the rubble.

Hundreds of roads have been closed and parts of the Kalka-Shimla railway have washed away.

Videos shared across social media have shown houses, trees, and cars swept away by gushing rivers, leaving many people stranded.
