Summary
At least 15 people have died in recent days across India as monsoon rains triggered landslides and building collapses, with one more body recovered Friday at Kerala's Anakkompoyil-Meppadi tunnel project.
Kerala's tunnel-site toll now stands at eight, one person is still missing, and rescue operations remain underway after the landslide struck earlier this week.
Uttar Pradesh has reported seven deaths from heavy rain this week, while Maharashtra recorded at least one death in Pimpri Chinchwad after a building collapse; six others died in a similar collapse in Mumbai last week.
Himachal Pradesh has also been hit hard, with landslides, flood-like conditions and school closures in some districts after more than 24 hours of continuous rain.
India's annual monsoon season typically runs from June through September, often bringing deadly flooding, landslides and infrastructure damage.
