At least 28 persons are now known to have died in floods and landslides in India's Uttarakhand and Arunachal Pradesh states in recent days, the BBC reported.

Hundreds die in South Asian monsoon season floods every year.

Bad weather has hampered rescue efforts in both countries.

Flash floods hit the village of Arsun, in Chitral, overnight from Saturday to Sunday.

Several people offering special Ramadan evening prayers in the local mosque were killed, local officials said, adding that women and children were among the dead.
