INDIA-WEATHER-MONSOON-TRANSPORT

An Indian operator attempts to use a bulldozer to move a truck from heavy mud on National Highway 44 (NH-44) at Khasiapunji some 205 kms north of Agartala on the border of the north-eastern states of Assam and Tripura on July 5, 2016. Heavy monsoon rains have caused the surface of NH-44 - which links the north-eastern Indian state of Tripura to the rest of the country - to be all but impassable. Some 4500 trucks, many laden with perishable goods are either waiting for the road to be cleared or remain stuckfast in muddy conditions. Essential foodstuffs and fuel are being transported into the region from neighbouring Bangladesh. Communications with this remote corner have been further compromised with the cancellation of train services due to damaged railway tracks. / AFP / ARINDAM DEY (Photo credit should read ARINDAM DEY/AFP via Getty Images)
