A big rescue operation is underway in southern India, where torrential rain has caused heavy flooding in three states.

At least 125 people are dead and many thousands are stranded. Some agencies have reported the death toll as high as 172.


Medical and food packages are being dropped into affected areas, but some districts are already submerged.


"We are seeing some of the worst flooding since 1972 in the northern part of the state," Mr Parashwanath said, referring to where the Krishna River burst its banks.


About 25,000 people are trapped in one town alone.


With warnings of more rain to come, officials fear rescue operations could be hampered.
