The cloudbursts triggering torrential rain, leading to flash floods and mud slides, struck Leh town in Ladakh and its surroundings, 425 km east of Srinagar.

More than 6,000 Indian soldiers were conducting rescue and relief work in the region. But heavy rainfall was disrupting operations, an army spokesman said.

The floods in this hill town, at a height of 11,500 feet above sea level, washed away hundreds of houses and left thousands homeless, snapped electric cables, damaged or washed away telecom towers and pylons, destroying the BSNL network and leaving the area in complete darkness.
