Landslide Makes House Crumble In Rain-Hit Uttarakhand, River Washes It Away

The house was located on the edge of the river Kali, which divides India and Nepal.

A river in spate due to incessant rain made a house collapse like a pack of cards before washing it away in Uttarakhand's Pithoragarh district today. 

The incident took place in Kothila village in the district's Dharchula area and the house was located on the edge of the river Kali, which divides India and Nepal. 

Videos of the house collapse, some of which were shot from the other side of the river in Nepal, show the ground-plus-one structure crumbling within seconds as the ground gives way beneath it. Only a couple of beams remain where the house once stood, with the rest of the structure being washed away by the river.
