Monsoon rains collapse houses in northern India, killing 37

None

At least 37 people have been killed this week as monsoon rains triggered house collapses and flooded wide swaths of land in northern India, officials said Saturday.

 

Weather officials have predicted more rains in the next 48 hours in India's most populous state of Uttar Pradesh.

 

The deaths have occurred since Thursday night, said government spokesman Awanish Awasthi. Most of the victims died on Friday in Agra, the northern city where the white marble Taj Mahal is located, including four members of a family whose house collapsed, he said.
