Originally Published 2 years ago — by CNN
Heavy rains in the Northern Indian state of Himachal Pradesh have caused a temple to collapse, killing nine people and leaving up to 25 others trapped. Seven more people have died in the state due to heavy rains. Rescue efforts are underway to save those trapped under the rubble, while authorities have urged people to stay indoors and avoid traveling. Himachal Pradesh has been severely affected by the monsoon season, with flash floods and landslides causing multiple casualties. Some scientists attribute the increasing chaos and unpredictability of India's monsoon season to the human-caused climate crisis.
