MALIN, India — Rescuers using earth-moving equipment and their bare hands dug through heavy mud and debris today after a landslide engulfed an entire village in western India, killing at least 30 people and leaving about 100 missing and feared dead.

More than 24 hours after the Wednesday morning landslide, authorities said the chances of survival were slim for anyone still trapped under the mud in Malin, a village of some 700 people.

A district official said around 40 homes were wiped out.

Two days of torrential rains triggered the landslide. Rain continued to pound the area as rescuers brought bodies covered in soaked white sheets to waiting ambulances while relatives stood by, weeping. Bad communications, dangerous roads and debris delayed national rescue personnel from the stricken area for hours.
