India News: Heavy rains wreak havoc in North India

India News: While the entire country is happily bathing in early monsoon showers, now at 40% in excess for the time of the year, torrential downpours have sent mounds of earth crashing into homes, toppled trees and buildings and overflowing rivers have swallowed vast swathes of north India, leaving at least 50 people dead and thousands homeless in the muddy aftermath. Nearly 20,000 people are still trapped in various places because of landslides and wrecked roads and bridges.

It appears even while ringing in prospects of a copious farm output that would help restraininflation, the Central government as well as governments in Uttarakhand, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh will be grappling with a widening arc of human tragedy as the country gears up for four major assembly elections this year and the general elections before the next monsoon.
