BREAKING: Heavy rainfall in Mumbai, India, causes a wall to collapse onto shanties, killing at least 15 people and injuring dozens.

Rescuers and onlookers stand at the spot of a wall collapse in Mumbai, India, Tuesday, July 2, 2019. Nearly a dozen people are feared killed. Building collapses are common in India during the June-September monsoon season, when heavy rains weaken the foundations of structures that are poorly constructed.

Multiple rescue teams with sniffer dogs were searching the area after the wall collapsed during the night, said Sunil Deshmukh, a police officer. He said anoher wall had collapsed elsewhere in the city and more casualties were feared. The monsoon season in India brings heavy rains from June to September that cause flooding and other damage.

The city has witnessed incessant rainfall over the past few days and rain waters have entered homes, hampering normal life. A public holiday was declared for Tuesday and people were advised to stay home.
