The floods, the worst in the last eight years, rattled through the coastline of the Bay of Bengal last Tuesday, affecting around 50 neighborhoods in Hyderabad, the capital of Andhra Pradesh.
Rescuers said the death toll was likely to rise when a truck carrying 31 villagers was swept away by a river in the state's Guntur district on Sunday. Four bodies have been recovered while other passengers are reported as still missing.
Thousands of people have been forced to leave their homes, and the state government has opened 85 relief camps. So far, 127,000 ha of crops have been damaged, while weather forecasters predict more rain in the next few days.
The monsoon season usually occurs in the country from early July to September.
