More than 100 dead in fresh India floods
More than 100 people have died due to flooding caused by heavy rains in the Indian states of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, BBC cited local officials.
Dramatic images of the impact of flood water on urban life have been coming out of the affected areas. Railway traffic, vehicular movement, healthcare services, schools and power supply have been disrupted in both states, officials said.
An Uttar Pradesh government report said 93 people have died since Thursday.
In eastern Uttar Pradesh, flooding caused officials to relocate more than 500 prisoners from the Ballia district jail to other prisons after water entered three buildings.
Satellite images from 20 September and 29 September show the extent of the flooding as the Ganges river overflowed due to the torrential rains in the region.
