FLOODS wreaked more havoc in Bangladesh’s eastern region and the north-east of India today, raising this week’s total death toll to 30.

The heavy rains eased in many parts of Bangladesh today and weather officials in Dhaka said the waters had started receding in some areas, but said the flooding would not be over for days.

A disaster management official in India’s Tripura state said that eight more people had died, adding 19 to the death toll since Monday.
