Heavy monsoon rains have triggered severe flooding that has swept across several districts from Bihar to Arunachal Pradesh. Rivers and streams have overflowed, submerging villages, roads and agricultural land. Local authorities have reported that many residents have been displaced and are seeking shelter in temporary camps.
