Search for survivors after India ferry sinking over 350 people on board.

Divers and rescue workers are looking for survivors on the Brahmaputra river in India's Assam state, where a ferry capsized during a storm on Monday, killing at least 103 people, BBC reported.

Police said about 100 people have been rescued. Some 40 bodies have already been recovered from the river.

The death toll is likely to rise, Assam chief minister Tarun Gogoi said.

Lax safety standards mean ferry accidents are common on the river but this is one of the worst disasters.

Police officials said it happened in the remote district of Dhubri, about 350km (215 miles) west of Assam's main city, Guwahati.

About 100 passengers have been rescued from the river, Assam police chief Jayanta Narayan Choudhury said. Some passengers were reported to have swum to safety.

Totally 350 people were on board.
