    What's the story

    Four people, including three children, were killed and several others went missing after three houses collapsed in a village following heavy rains in Dharchula sub-division in Uttarakhand's Pithoragarh district, officials said.

    The incident occurred in Jumma village on late Sunday night, Pithoragarh District Magistrate Ashish Chauhan said.

    Bodies of three children were recovered on Monday and a search operation was on for those missing.

    SSB (Special Services Bureau) Commandant MP Singh said one more body was recovered from another part of the village, taking the death toll to four.

    SSB jawans were the first to reach the spot and launch search and rescue operations. A helipad has been erected in the affected area and a medical team sent to the village to treat the injured, Singh said.
