Massive flooding and mudslides in northeastern India's Assam state have claimed eight more lives, officials said Sunday, taking the death toll to 62 from weeks of heavy rains that caused one of Asia's largest rivers to overflow.
Assam's disaster management agency said 32 of the state's 35 districts were underwater as the swollen Brahmaputra River broke its banks, displacing more than three million people. The Indian army was called in for rescue efforts and the air force remained on standby.
The Brahmaputra flows from China's Tibet through India and into Bangladesh on a nearly 800 kilometre (497 mile) journey through Assam.
