At least one million people have been marooned by flooding in the eastern Indian state of West Bengal after five days of torrential rains left 14 dead.
At least two rivers in southern Sunderbans region had breached their banks, flooding 60 villages, officials said, and large areas of the paddy-growing state were submerged by muddy flood waters.
They said more than a dozen people had been killed by collapsed walls in houses and electrocution.
Relief workers were using boats to ferry supplies of rice and molasses to hundreds of villages cut off by the floods.
The unseasonal rains in largely low-lying West Bengal came after the June-September monsoon season ended in India. Hundreds were killed in flooding and mudslides triggered by rains during the summer that shut down India's financial hub of Bombay for four days.
In West Bengal, thousands of people sheltered in schools and government buildings after hundreds of mud houses were washed away.
Weather officials said the rains had been triggered by a low-pressure system over the Bay of Bengal.
