NEW DELHI, Sept. 5 (Xinhua) -- At least 18 people were killed and 36 others injured in rain-related incidents in the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, officials said Wednesday.

The casualties were reported from 10 districts across the state in the past 36 hours.

"Some 18 people have died and 36 injured due to heavy rains and flooding in the state since Monday night, taking the toll to over 40 since Saturday," a disaster management official said.

Apart from the disaster relief force, the Indian Air Force has also been pressed into service for rescue work in the state.

The weather department has predicted more showers in the next 24 hours in parts of the state. "More rains are expected in the state in the next one day," a weather official said.
