The evening landslide crashed into the small village of Malin, taking its approximately 150 residents by surprise, the [BBC](http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-28598775 "undefined") reported. Workers have managed to reach the central part of the village, but no survivors have been recovered in the past 48 hours. The torrential rain that caused the disaster continues to hamper rescue efforts, said officials, despite the attempts of the 250 disaster response workers and 100 ambulances on the scene. The eight villagers thus far rescued are receiving treatment at a government hospital 60 kilometers away. India’s monsoon season runs from June to September. \[[_BBC_](http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-28598775 "undefined")\]  Villagers watch a rescue operation standing by mud and slush at the site of a landslide in Malin village, in the western Indian state of Maharashtra on Aug. 1, 2014.
