Rescuers reach India quake victims
Rescuers have finally reached some of the villages in India’s remote north-east cut off by a powerful earthquake as the death toll in the disaster climbed past 100.
Rescue efforts following Sunday’s magnitude-6.9 quake, which also struck parts of Tibet and Nepal, were slow-going because heavy rains kept helicopters grounded and mudslides blocked roads leading into remote, mountainous terrain.
