                  Dozens Feared Trapped by Landslide in India

   by VOA News

   More than 150 people are feared trapped after a landslide swept through
   a village in western India.

   Officials in Maharashtra state said the mudslide buried at least 40
   homes in a village near Pune early Wednesday.

   Rescue workers were on their way to the area but were hampered by poor
   roads and continuing rains. Heavy rain has continued to lash the region
   over the past four days.

   The Pune district about is 151 kilometers southeast of Mumbai, India's
   commercial capital.

   Landslides are common in the area during the monsoon season, which runs
   from June through September.
