India monsoon rains kill dozens in Maharashtra

Heavy monsoon rains in western India have damaged houses and flooded parts of Maharashtra, killing at least 46 people, officials say.
A government minister said landslides, flooding and electrocutions had led to the deaths.
Some 600 houses have been damaged in the state. Suburban train services in the capital Mumbai have been disrupted after the tracks came under water.
The monsoon season generally lasts from June to September.
In Mumbai, eight people died on Wednesday in a wall collapse during torrential rains and one man was killed when a beam fell on him at a construction site.
Heavy rainfall can be deadly in hilly areas of the country which are more more prone to landslides, flash floods and building collapses.
