An entire village has been buried under a massive mudslide.<br /><br /> Torrential rains in rural western India have triggered the landslide that killed 17 people as it swept away scores of thatched huts and brick houses.<br /><br /> Rescue teams and locals pulled people out of the deep mud 60 km from the city of Pune.<br /><br /> Officials said others may have been trapped under rocks, trees and mud.<br /><br /> Ranadeep Gokhale, a regular visitor to the village said, “I came here to visit my relatives [...] this time I discovered the entire village had been destroyed.”<br /><br /> The nearest medical centre is about 15 kilometres from the village which is southeast of Mumbai.<br /><br /> Persistent rain and bad roads have been hampering rescue efforts.<br /><br /> The area around the village has been largely deforested. That has increased its exposure to landslides.
