One body was recovered and five people were rescued at Boh village, where one of the landslides took place, officials said. Two more bodies were found in landslides and flash floods elsewhere in the state. Tourists have flocked to the town in recent weeks -- triggering Covid-19 social distancing warnings -- as temperatures soared in northern India ahead of the arrival of the annual monsoon deluge. Authorities said tourists should avoid the region amid forecasts of more heavy rains that could lead to landslides in the next 24 hours. Nearly 80 people were killed in three states in northern and western India over the weekend after being struck by lightning.
