Heavy rains have wreaked havoc in a number of India's north-eastern states, including Meghalaya, where a wooden bridge was washed away by raging floodwater in the worst-hit South Garo Hills district.
A local captured the moment when the bridge that connected Ruga and Jejika villages broke and collapsed into the Bugi river.
The situation remains extremely serious in the district, as rains left numerous houses submerged or washed away, caused loss of livestock, trees being uprooted, and damaged roads.
The disaster management team and other authorities have started a rescue operation to rescue people from the affected regions.
Last month, a wave of floods caused severe destruction in Assam, a neighbouring state, killing 30 and leaving over 560,000 people affected.
