A landslide on the Udaipur-Killar road in Himachal Pradesh's Lahaul-Spiti district buried a taxi carrying 15 passengers, killing 13, including a six-month-old infant. Two passengers survived by jumping out before the vehicle was crushed. The passengers had stayed overnight at Tindi due to earlier road closures caused by heavy rains. Rescue operations involving police, local administration, and the Border Roads Organisation are ongoing amid challenging terrain and continued rainfall. Authorities urge caution on landslide-prone routes during the monsoon season.
