Flood victims walk on a damaged railway track at Poktapoll, about 150 km (95 miles) west from the eastern Indian city of Kolkata, June 19, 2008. Floods triggered by heavy monsoon rains have swept across the country's east and northeast and more than 300,000 people have lost their homes so far, and are scattered between camps, highways and makeshift shelters on higher ground, officials said.
