Bihar and Uttar Pradesh: More than 100 dead in fresh India flood chaos

More than 100 people have died due to flooding caused by heavy rains in the Indian states of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar.
The city has been deluged with rain since Friday, submerging many residential areas. People are navigating the main roads - which are dotted with abandoned and partially submerged vehicles - by boat.
The PTI news agency quoted an official as saying that the amount of rain the city received was "completely unexpected". In many parts, the rain water has mixed with overflowing sewage, and the dirty water has entered several homes.
