Rescue workers, police and residents helped pull 13 people out of the rubble and were looking for those buried beneath. Authorities have advised people living in an adjacent building to vacate after it developed cracks following the collapse. The meteorological department said rains were also expected in the capital, Islamabad, and in Pakistan’s portion of Kashmir. In Bihar, the death toll has reached 514, with people still living in makeshift huts days after the flooding started. The deluge brought back memories of the 2005 floods that killed more than 500 people in the city.
