At least eight people have died in Uttarakhand in the past 24 hours as relentless monsoon rain triggered landslides, house collapses and flash floods, while persistent land subsidence and soil erosion damaged homes, roads and farmland in Rudraprayag district, officials said on Tuesday.

Five deaths occurred in two rain-related incidents in Almora district. Two Nepali labourers were buried after debris from a hillside brought down the wall of a tin shed in the Dhar Ki Tuni area. In a separate earlier incident, three people were killed when mud and rubble crashed into a house at Vadyura village in Someshwar block.

In Dehradun, swollen seasonal streams created flood-like conditions after intense showers. Water entered several homes in Herbertpur and Vikasnagar, forcing police and residents to launch a joint evacuation.
