"So far eight bodies have been recovered and 30 are believed to be missing," Rautela told AFP. The Press Trust of India news agency said 100 millimetres (about four inches) of rain fell in two hours, causing swollen rivers to burst their banks and forcing residents to flee their homes. Television images showed muddy, swirling floodwaters gushing through the area, slowly submerging buildings while giant boulders and rocks blocked part of a national highway.
