New Delhi, Aug. 6 -- A group of 28 tourists from Kerala has gone missing in Uttarakhand's Uttarkashi district following a powerful cloudburst that triggered massive mudslides along the route to Gangotri.

The Kerala tourist group was last heard from on Tuesday, August 5, morning, just hours before landslides swept through large parts of the region, burying roads and cutting off communication.

Of the 28 individuals, 20 are reportedly from Kerala settled in Maharashtra, while the remaining eight are from various districts in Kerala, a relative of one of the couples in the group told the media.
