Recovery begins after storm slams coast

Indian authorities on Friday began assessing damage and clearing roads in the wake of Cyclone Amphan that killed more than 96 people and left millions displaced after barreling through the coastal communities of eastern India and neighboring Bangladesh. In West Bengal state, which bore the brunt of the storm that caused extensive flooding in its capital Kolkata, police and teams from India's national disaster response force removed fallen trees and other debris, repaired communication lines and started getting hundreds of thousands of people out of shelters. Amphan hit land on Wednesday as the most powerful storm in the region in more than a decade.
