The body of another person was recovered from a hydroelectric project site in Himachal Pradesh that was hit with flash floods, taking the toll in the incident to four, officials said on Thursday. Search operations were intensified on Thursday to find the seven still missing since flash floods were triggered by cloudbursts in Kangra and Kullu districts on Wednesday.

National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) commandant Baljinder Singh said they are trying to trace five people who are feared to have been swept away from the project site. Three more people are yet to be traced at Rehla Bihal in Kullu district.
