At least 173 people have died and millions more have been displaced across northern India, southern Nepal and Bangladesh after heavy monsoon rains unleashed landslides and floods.

The worst monsoon floods in a decade to hit a remote Indian state have killed more than 80 people and forced 2m to leave their homes.
