Flood-affected people move to safer ground in a horse-cart during heavy rain at Murliganj village of Madhepura district in the eastern Indian state of Bihar, September 4, 2008. Authorities in one of India's poorest states airdropped leaflets to villagers, appealing for thousands of people remaining in their homes to evacuate as heavy rains risked more flooding.
