Corpses pulled from canals as death toll hits 9,400
Police said 3,000 people were confirmed dead and another 2,000 presumed killed in the remote Andaman and Nicobar islands in the far east, where contact has still not been made with isolated communities of thousands of people.
Hundreds of thousands are homeless. The high number of missing means India’s toll was likely to go much higher, interior minister Shivraj Patil said.
