Rescuers searching through knee-deep water found 23 more bodies in India's remote northeastern state of Assam on Sunday, boosting the death toll from four days of unseasonably heavy rains to 123. Receding waters on Sunday revealed the bloated carcasses of thousands of cows, buffaloes, goats and poultry, rescue workers said. Soldiers were helping villagers clear the carcasses to prevent the spread of disease, they said. Soldiers and rescue workers in rubber dinghies searched flooded villages in the hardest-hit district of Goalpara and pulled out 23 more bodies, local officials said.
