LUCKNOW, India (AP) ? A day after the government said it would treat more than 5,700 people missing in floods in north India last month as presumed dead, relatives say they still held out hope that their loved ones survived.
The provisional death toll would make the Uttarakhand floods the worst natural disaster in India since more than 10,000 people were killed here in the Indian Ocean tsunami in 2004.
Officials said some of the missing still could turn up alive.
The toll was worsened by the presence of tens of thousands of Hindu pilgrims visiting the state's temples and the many vacationers who head to its cool hills to escape the summer heat.
