Flooded north India stranded as rescue boats race in
In Triveniganj near the Nepal border, hundreds of thousands remain trapped by Kosi River floodwaters two weeks after overflows. Private boat operators faced charges, and officials activated improvised craft from World War II era. Rescue efforts bring in survivors every 10 to 15 minutes while many plead for aid and news of relatives. About 700,000 people have little food, with a breached riverbank spanning more than a mile and likely to worsen until November monsoon ends.
