    At least two million people in northern India have been left homeless as the Ganges and
    other rivers, swollen by heavy monsoon rains, broke embankments and submerged
    villages, fields and religious sites.

    State officials said 500,000 hectares of agriculture land in top cane growing state Uttar
    Pradesh were flooded and the heavy rains could affect cotton output from Punjab and
    Haryana states.

    They said floods in Uttar Pradesh were the worst in years and were still assessing the
    damage to the cane.

    Any output loss would reduce sugar supply in India, the world's top consumer and
    second-largest producer of the sweetner, and could push up prices globally.

    The Ganges, a dip in which Hindus believe washes away sins, and its tributary rivers
    have risen to close to their record-high levels and weather officials have forecast heavy
    rains in the region for the next two days.
    "Agriculture fields and many roads are still water-logged... the real estimation would be
    possible when the water recedes," said K.K. Sinha, a senior Uttar Pradesh government
    official.

    Television pictures showed people leaving villages on bullock carts through submerged
    roads, while several women and men were seen wading through waist-deep water,
    carrying children on their shoulders and belongings on their heads.
