Espinosa’s spokesperson Monica Grayley said that she has “sent her condolences to the people and the Government of India after the monsoon floods in the southern and western parts of the country that left 140 dead, and hundreds of thousands of people being evacuated.”
The typhoon has affected more than 130,000 residents in the province and 20,000 people have been evacuated as flooding damaged houses, crops and roads and disrupted electricity and telecommunications.
The deadly landslide occurred about 130 km north of the coastal city of Wenzhou when a natural dam collapsed in an area deluged with 160 mm (6.3 inches) of rain within three hours.
There were no immediate reports of significant damage or casualties.
