New Delhi, Shawwal 3, 1435, Jul 30, 2014, SPA -- At least 17 people were killed and 167 others trapped when a landslide buried parts of a remote village in western India on Wednesday, officials said. Heavy monsoon rains caused five-meter high piles of mud to bury parts of Malin village in Maharashtra state's Pune district. "According to the information we have, 17 bodies have been recovered from the debris. Six people have been rescued," dpa quoted National Disaster Response Force spokeswoman Tripti Parule as saying. Pune's local commissioner Prabhakar Deshmukh said a total of 167 people were trapped after a section of a hill crashed down on 44 houses in the village early Wednesday. --SPA 23:06 LOCAL TIME 20:06 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
