In the predawn hours on Tuesday, landslides struck the southern Indian state of Kerala. Landslides are common in this hilly region known for tea cultivation, but even so, the destruction this week has been extreme. More than 200 people have been confirmed dead, and although the search for missing people continues, hope of finding survivors is running low. Reporter Sushmita Pathak, in Delhi, offers insight into the region, the high death toll, and how climate change may contribute to what's happening.
