Early India monsoon kills hundreds

http://www.stuff.co.nz/world/asia/8823130/Early-India-monsoon-kills-dozens

Indian troops are trying to rescue thousands of people stranded by floods in the north that have killed more than 200 people.Floods and landslides in state of Uttarakhand have killed at least 167 people since Sunday. In Himachal Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh, 36 people were reported dead.More than 30 military helicopters and aircraft airlifted people to safety and dropped food supplies in inaccessible areas. About 10,000 soldiers, paramilitary troops and disaster officials were involved in rescue efforts.The monsoon, which arrived about a fortnight before schedule, triggered floods and landslides, trapping scores of pilgrims who travel to Hindu shrines in the Himalayan region in mid-June.The state disaster management unit reported that more than 50,000 pilgrims were still stuck in the worst-hit districts of Rudraprayag, Chamoli and Uttarkashi. A total of 33,192 people had been evacuated to safer places.In New Delhi, Indian Meterological Department officials said rescue efforts had to be stepped up as heavy rains were expected in the region again from Monday.The Supreme Court ordered the federal and state government to spare no efforts to rescue people and asked for a report by Tuesday on the measures.Indian media cited survivors as saying that thousands of people were still missing. State Chief Minister Vijay Bahuguna has described the floods as a "Himalayan tsunami" and said "very heavy casualties are feared.""A lake above the Kedarnath town burst and after 15 minutes a combination of rock and mud hit our hotel hard. It dragged us like anything, three of us, me, my son and wife were saved but my daughter and mother-in-law were washed away," a survivor told the NDTV."The death toll might be 10 or 20 times more than the government toll of 150. The worst part is that the government is making no efforts to retrieve the bodies, I saw dogs eating the bodies," he said.Hundreds of people gathered at the Jolly Grant airport, where survivors were being brought by helicopters and planes, waiting for news of their relatives."My mother and father who are among 5,000 people stranded in Gaurikund who are without food for the past five days. They are safe but government delays in reaching food will kill those who survived," Kamal Goswami told reporters.Disaster management officials told the Indian Express newspaper that Uttarakhand had seen its heaviest rains in 60 years.According to local media, at least 500 roads, 170 bridges and hundreds of houses and buildings were swept away after rivers burst their banks. Heavy traffic jams were seen on the few roads that were open as people rushed to leave the state.Premier Manmohan Singh, who undertook an aerial survey of Uttarakhand, has announced an aid package of US$170 million for the state.In Himachal Pradesh, 500 people including some foreign tourists were still stranded in the flood-hit Kinnaur, on the border with Tibet. In Nepal, which also borders Uttarakhand, 19 people had been killed and 25 people were missing.
