Indian Monsoon floods kill 96 and force one million into relief camps

The death toll in flooding from heavy monsoon rains in India has climbed past 90, with about a million people taking shelter in government-run relief camps, officials have said.

Incessant downpours have damaged swathes of land, uprooted trees and snapped telephone cables in dozens of districts in the states of Bihar in the east, Assam in the remote north-east and Himachal Pradesh in the north.
