A flash flood triggered by a cloudburst near the holy cave shrine of Amarnath in Jammu and Kashmir swept away pilgrims, killing 16 and leaving at least 40 others injured. Rescue and relief operations led by the Indian Army are underway and search for the missing is on. An official on the ground said about 30-35 people are missing while five have been rescued. Gushing waters rolling down the mountainside due to the incessant rain damaged 25 tents and three community kitchens where pilgrims are served food, officials said.
