Monsoons have flooded parts of India this week, adding to the toll of a season that has killed more than 1,200 people across South Asia.

A building collapsed Thursday in Mumbai, India, killing at least two people and trapping around 30 others after days of flooding rains in the city.

Rescuers pulled several people from the rubble of the building. A police official told reporters nine families were living there.

Monsoons have flooded India's commercial capital this week and forecasters said more heavy rain was possible in the region Thursday before easing on Friday.

India's neighbors have also been hit by the monsoon season, which began in June and has affected more than 40 million people.

Karachi, Pakistan saw heavy rain Thursday and storms were expected across the country for several days.

Bangladesh and Nepal have also experienced severe flooding that forced hundreds of thousands of people from their homes.
