a city of more than 15 million residents -- to a standstill for nearly a week, shutting suburban trains and the airport. But as flooding eased in Bombay, Indian media reported that 110 people had died in monsoon flooding over the past week in the southern state of Karnataka, which neighbours Maharashtra. In one of the worst-hit districts, Belgaum, some 23,000 families were moved to safer places as scores of villages were facing the threat of inundation from the swollen Krishna river, officials said on Friday. India's turbulent monsoon season which runs from June to September kills hundreds of people every year and leaves huge swathes of land under muddy floodwaters. --SP 1501 Local Time 1201 GMT
