At least 27 were killed in separate incidents of landslide, cloudburst and flooding across Uttarakhand over the past 24 hours as heavy rains lashed several parts of the state, disaster management officials said on Saturday, amid warnings of more rains.

Seven people, including four of a family, were killed after heavy rains triggered a landslide in Dehradun's Rajpur area, flattening homes built along the slopes of a hillock early on Saturday.

Another 14 were killed by cloudbursts at four places in Pauri district on Friday. Yamkeswar and Lansdowne tehsils reported the remaining deaths.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed grief over the loss of lives in the state, where a mid-June deluge had wreaked havoc and killed more than 5,000 people, including pilgrims last year.
