88,000 people evacuated in rain-hit Andhra Pradesh

At least two million people in northern India have been left homeless as the Ganges andother rivers, swollen by heavy monsoon rains, broke embankments and submerged

villages, fields and religious sites.

State officials said 500,000 hectares of agriculture land in top cane growing state UttarPradesh were flooded and the heavy rains could affect cotton output from Punjab and

Haryana states.

They said floods in Uttar Pradesh were the worst in years and were still assessing the

damage to the cane.

Any output loss would reduce sugar supply in India, the world's top consumer and

second-largest producer of the sweetner, and could push up prices globally.

The Ganges, a dip in which Hindus believe washes away sins, and its tributary rivers

have risen to close to their record-high levels and weather officials have forecast heavy

rains in the region for the next two days.

"Agriculture fields and many roads are still water-logged... the real estimation would be

possible when the water recedes," said K.K. Sinha, a senior Uttar Pradesh government

official.

Television pictures showed people leaving villages on bullock carts through submerged

roads, while several women and men were seen wading through waist-deep water,carrying children on their shoulders and belongings on their heads.
