GUWAHATI, India/DHAKA (Reuters) - The mighty Brahmaputra river, swollen by rain and a Himalayan burst dam, has flooded huge swathes of north India and Bangladesh, killing dozens and forcing millions to seek refuge on higher ground. That brought the death toll from the annual monsoon floods to more than 70 in India and neighboring Nepal. In neighboring Bangladesh, officials said 13 people had died and an estimated 3 million people were marooned - cut off in their flooded homes and on patches of high ground.
