At least 14 people are dead and 150 missings after a part of a Himalayan glacier dropped into a river and triggered a large flood in northern India.
The floodwaters broke open a dam and a deluge of water flowed through a valley in the state of Uttarakhand.
Most of the missing are thought to be workers from two hydropower plants in the area.
Hundreds of troops, paramilitaries and military helicopters have been sent to the region to help with rescue efforts.
Experts are investigating the incident though it is not yet clear what might have caused the glacial burst. Officials say 25 people have been rescued so far.
In a tweet on Sunday, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said he was keeping a close watch on the situation in Uttarakhand.
“Have been continuously speaking to authorities and getting updates on… deployment, rescue work and relief operations,” he said in a tweet.
