NEW DELHI - At least 12 people were killed when a house collapsed in northern India following heavy monsoon rain which has left more than 100 dead across South Asia, officials said Monday.

Floods and landslides caused by torrential downpours have killed at least 67 people across Nepal while 30 more are missing, police said.

In Bangladesh, at least 29 people have died since July 9 including 18 who were hit by lightning and seven who drowned after their boat capsized in choppy waters in the Bay of Bengal.

Another 10 people have died in overcrowded Rohingya refugee camps in southeast Bangladesh where thousands of shanty homes have been destroyed.

In the latest monsoon-related tragedy in India, a four-story building on a hillside in the northern state of Himachal Pradesh collapsed, killing 12 people and trapping at least seven others.

The structure - located near popular tourist destination Shimla - came down on Sunday following days of heavy downpours.

Rescue workers searched the rubble for survivors, while heavy machinery removed heaps of mangled steel and wires from the muddied debris.

Local official K.C. Chaman said 12 people had died in the collapse, adding that rescuers were looking "for at least seven other people" trapped in the debris. -AFP
