Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>loods and landslides triggered by heavy rainfall, have led to the death of at least 14 people in north-eastern India over the past three days, and cut off vital rail links to the region, officials and news reports said on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The incessant rains had impacted more than 400,000 people and destroyed thousands of acres of crops in Assam, a state Disaster Management Department, the official said. An estimated 40,000 people had taken shelter in temporary relief camps.<\/p>\n

Railway tracks in a hill area had suffered “unprecedented damage” a railway official said, resulting in broken links to the southern part of the state and neighbouring Mizoram, Manipur and Tripura states.<\/p>\n

Major roads were under several feet of water. Aerial photographs showed marooned villages in a sea of water. Most of the nine victims in Assam died either by drowning or were buried in landslides and house collapses. One person died of electrocution.<\/p>\n

Five people died in Itanagar, the capital of neighbouring Arunachal Pradesh state, due to heavy rainfall, The Telegraph newspaper reported. A red alert has been sounded for Assam and Meghalaya by the Meteorological Department, which predicted more rainfall for the next four to five days.<\/p>\n

Two people died in information technology hub Bengaluru in southern India, which has also been experiencing heavy rainfall over the past four days, NDTV news channel reported.<\/p>\n

Several roads are flooded, along with underpasses. Residents shared photographs of roads turned into rivers and lakes with water levels as high as the window panes of cars.<\/p>\n
