Fourteen people, many of them from an extended family, were killed when a dam in Ratnagiri district’s Tivare village, 250 km from Pune, breached late on Tuesday night, resulting in a torrent washing away houses. Another nine people were still missing when rescue operations were halted for the night on Wednesday.
A massive 100-metre portion of the 308-metre-long dam was washed away, taking in its sweep nine of the 13 homes in the village and two bridges, the authorities said.
