Floods in India and Bangladesh leave hundreds of thousands stranded
FLOODS have left hundreds of thousands of people stranded in north-east India and the east of Bangladesh, causing at least 15 deaths, officials and media reports said today.
At least 11 have been killed and thousands displaced from homes as floods and mudslides ravaged India’s north-eastern state of Tripura, bordering Bangladesh, since Wednesday.
Another four were killed in Bangladesh as upstream India and its downstream neighbour share rivers along their border.
