Two months of monsoon rains have inundated northeastern India and eastern Bangladesh, with prolonged heavy rains, particularly during the middle of June, causing widespread floods and landslides as river levels rose to dangerous levels. Media reports indicated that 79 people had been killed in the flooding, with more than 300,000 displaced as the flood waters submerged homes and inundated farmland. Assam regularly experiences large-scale destruction with each monsoon season due to its expansive network of rivers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
