India: Monsoon rage

Indian monsoon rain has so far killed 430 people in Mumbai (Bombay) and elsewhere in the state of Maharashtra.

Mumbai saw over 200 people dead, while transport in the city is still disrupted and trading on financial markets suspended.

Thousands remain stranded amid fears the number of dead could rise. The navy is helping rescue efforts.

According to officials, the rain on Tuesday was the heaviest recorded in a single day in India.

More than 65cm (26 inches) fell in Mumbai.
