The monsoon has turned ferocious across the Himalayan states, with landslides battering Uttarakhand — the Alaknanda and Mandakini rivers in spate, roads blocked, hillsides giving way.

More than ten rain-related deaths have been recorded across the country in the last 24 hours. In Gujarat, the waters are receding in Surat, but the full tragedy is only now coming into focus — a 17-year-old walking home, a school van driver, among those who never made it back.
