PATNA/KATHMANDU (Reuters) - More than 400,000 people in eastern India face the risk of flooding after a landslide that killed at least nine people in neighbouring Nepal, an Indian government official said on Sunday, as thousands were being evacuated.

The landslide triggered by heavy rains has left scores of people missing and has created a mud dam blocking the Sunkoshi river, which runs into India's Bihar state as the Kosi river.
