Devastating floods have left much of the main city of Indian-administered Kashmir under water, as residents are evacuated or retreat to their rooftops. Soldiers are battling to rescue thousands of trapped residents of Srinagar and the surrounding region. The floods, resulting from the late-monsoon rains, have left more than 270 people dead in India and Pakistan. With hundreds of villages submerged and many areas cut off, there are fears the true picture may be much worse. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi flew over the Kashmir valley on Sunday, declaring the floods a "national level disaster" and promising almost $200m in aid and compensation.
