Four other people were injured in Hyderabad, the state’s capital, when a house’s boundary wall fell on a neighbouring house, which collapsed with the impact, police officer Gaja Bhopal Rao said.</p>

<p>The first house to collapse in Hyderabad was in a hilly area of the city where the soil was loosened by more than 9.8 inches of rain in the past 24 hours, said Police Commissioner Anjani Kumar.</p>

<p>That left eight people dead.<br />
Five other people were killed in two other house collapses in the city, Mr Kumar said.<br />
Two other people were swept away by flood waters elsewhere in the state.<br />
The rain washed away part of the road linking the city to the airport.</p>
<p>Thirty cars and lorries were washed away when a lake in the city overflowed, district administrator Amoy Kumar said.</p>

<p>The heavy rain in Hyderabad, caused by a deep depression in Bay of Bengal, broke a record set 20 years ago.<br />
It caused flooding in low lying areas of the city, where authorities used boats to evacuate people.<br />
More than 9.6 million people across South Asia have been affected by severe floods this year, with hundreds of thousands struggling to get food and medicine.</p>

<p>About 550 people have died in India, Bangladesh and Nepal, while millions have been displaced from their homes since the flooding began in June.</p>
