More than 200 people have died in flash floods triggered by heavy rains across Indian Kashmir and neighbouring Pakistan, officials said on Friday, amid fears that the death toll will continue to rise as scores of people remain missing.

Rescuers in Indian Kashmir used shovels and earthmovers to search for survivors under boulders and debris a day after sudden floods triggered by heavy rains killed at least 60 people.
