Flood toll in India tops 150

Rescuers in India’s flood-ravaged north-east have recovered a further 37 bodies, taking the death toll in flash floods and landslides in the region to 157 in the past five days, an official said on Sunday. Weather officials said the deluge was the worst in a decade to soak the region outside of a monsoon period.
