Prime Minister of India describes the recent flooding which has left 95 dead and 2 million homeless as the worst in the history of the Country.
The Brahmaputra River overflowed during monsoon rains over the past week, flooding more than 2,000 villages and destroying homes in the northeast of the country, officials said.
Those who died during the flood were swept away by the flood and 16 were buried by the landslides caused by the heavy rains.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh told CNN on Monday that almost half a million people were living in relief camps, and the remaining of the displaced were staying with relatives or living in the open, using tarpaulin sheets for shelter.
