India monsoon rains kill dozens
There have been torrential rains in Mumbai
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.
A landslide was also reported from the city of Pune.
Monsoon rains are critical to India's farming output, which account for a sixth of economic output.
Heavy rainfall can be deadly in hilly areas of the country which are more more prone to landslides, flash floods and building collapses.
