Rescuers have found 56 bodies and are searching for more victims after a boat packed with Hindu devotees capsized in eastern India.
The boat was returning from a religious festival on Monday when it sank in the Bagmati River in Bihar state, 200km north of the state capital Patna.
'We have so far brought out 56 victims, including the bodies of two dozen women and children,' local civilian administrator Abhay Singh said.
Police said a storm overturned the boat, which had the capacity for only 35 people but was carrying 80 passengers. So far nine survivors have been found.
