At least four people died in a building collapse in the Indian capital Delhi, the latest in a series of rain-related incidents as monsoon showers triggered landslides and disrupted travel across parts of the country.
One person was rescued alive from the building collapse debris in Delhi, news agency ANI reported. India’s weather office issued a “red” alert for parts of Delhi and the neighbouring state of Haryana, forecasting heavy rain.
The Delhi airport advised passengers to allow extra travel time because of waterlogging on some roads leading to the airport. In the southern state of Kerala, a landslide in Wayanad on Tuesday killed at least four people, local media reported.
In the western state of Maharashtra, at least 13 people were killed in rain-related incidents, a state government minister said earlier this week. In the Maharashtra city of Pune, near Mumbai, a large mound of garbage collapsed at a waste treatment facility. At least seven people have been rescued, with nine others feared trapped.
Elsewhere in the country, visuals showed waterlogged streets in Agra and flooded highways in Gujarat, with residents wading through knee-deep waters.
