The landslide took place in a village about 25 miles from Indian-administered Kashmir’s capital city Srinagar, where a section of a hill buried a house where three families were sleeping, Reuters reports. “The entire house is covered in earth,” said Mushtaq Ahmad, a neighbor. “The chance of finding everyone alive is unlikely.” ### See the Aftermath of the Deadly Landslide in Kashmir  Kashmiri villagers gather during rescue efforts following a landslide due to heavy rainfall in the village of Laden near Chadoora, west of Srinagar, on March 30, 2015.

Rural suicides in the region have also reportedly risen during the same period, as winter crops have been destroyed by the rains. The devastation comes as Kashmiri families are still recovering from the region’s worst-ever flood [last September](http://time.com/3341129/satellite-images-show-jammu-kashmir-submerged-underwater-after-floods/ "undefined"), which claimed over 400 lives and rendered millions homeless. **Correction:** The original version of his story incorrectly identified the number of people killed in the landslide. As of March 30, six people were found dead. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3763034/india-kashmir-rains-landslide-flooding-deaths/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3763034/india-kashmir-rains-landslide-flooding-deaths/"},"headline":"At Least 6 Die in Kashmir Landslide","datePublished":"2015-03-30T09:22:30.000Z","dateModified":"2023-12-15T04:56:41.000Z","description":"Unseasonal rains have lashed northern India over the past few weeks, destroying crops and raising concerns over safety","url":"https://time.com/3763034/india-kashmir-rains-landslide-flooding-deaths/","keywords":["Army","India","Flooding","killed","Kashmir","damage"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Rishi Iyengar","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/rishi-iyengar/"}],"articleSection":"World","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/world/","name":"World"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3763034/india-kashmir-rains-landslide-flooding-deaths/","name":"At Least 6 Die in Kashmir Landslide"}}]}] ```
