Heavy rainfall in northern India has caused water to be released from barrages upstream flooding the banks of the Yamuna along New Delhi. India's prime minister said Wednesday that the death toll from flooding this week in the northern state of Uttrakhand had surpassed 100 and could rise substantially. The flooding has affected several states and the capital, New Delhi, where nearly 2,000 people have been evacuated to government-run camps on higher ground. Authorities there said the situation would ease as the level of the Yamuna River was expected to start receding Thursday afternoon. (Photo by Saurabh Das/AP Photo)
