Assam, India - At least seven people have died and 1.2 million others were displaced from their homes in India's northeastern state of Assam after heavy monsoon rains and flooding inundated the country. According to the Associated Press, army soldiers rescued thousands of people using boats. Many residents were stranded on the roofs of their homes and had to be taken to a safe location. Much of Assam is under water after the Brahmaputra and its tributaries breached their banks, with 18 of the state's districts affected. Large stretches of main roads and highways have been washed away and power pylons have come down. District officials said more than 200 relief camps have been set up for flood victims. Thousands of acres of farmlands have been flooded.
