Clearing weather and receding flood waters have allowed the Indian army, air force and National Disaster Relief Force to step up their rescue operations in Jammu and Kashmir. Over 75,000 people are reported to have been rescued after being stranded on their rooftops for more than three days. With parts of the state still submerged, it could be days until people reported to have been missing can be found.
Meanwhile, photographic contributions to Instagram about the rescue mission continue to grow.
