The Prime Minister has condoled the loss of lives in the landslide and directed all possible efforts to help the affected people. 
 
At least ten died while more than 150 others were feared trapped under debris as landslides hit Maharashtra's Ambegaon village, about 120 km from Pune on Wednesday, said media reports.
