Guwahati - Floods have killed at least 26 people and made more than a million homeless in India's northeastern state of Assam, officials said yesterday. Over 2,000 villages have been inundated by the overflowing Brahmaputra river and its tributaries which rose after heavy rains lashed the state for 48 hours.
A spokesman said the swollen river had cut off mountainous Assam from the rest of the country, with railway tracks and roads under water.
