As the monsoon is in its peak time, torrential rain on Tuesday unleashed havoc across several parts of the country, killing four people in Assam, pushing rivers above danger levels in Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand and submerging roads and homes, disrupting trains and forcing schools to shut. Because of the heavy rains, Assam bore the brunt of the rain fury, with four people, including three members of a family, killed in two landslides in Guwahati and several parts of the city inundated following incessant rainfall. In the Mathgharia area, a couple and their 11-year-old daughter were killed when a landslide flattened their house while they were sleeping. Their 19-year-old son was rescued from beneath the debris and taken to the Gauhati Medical College and Hospital.
