Heavy rains wreak havoc across eastern Rajasthan

Continuous torrential rains across the eastern part of Rajasthan have claimed at least 27 lives since Saturday, causing widespread chaos with landslides, house collapses, and traffic disruptions. There were several reports of drowning deaths.

There is flood-like situation in Krauli, and Hindaun City, where markets and houses water submerged after heavy rains.

In Jaipur also life is badly disrupted due to continuous rain since last Saturday. Water entered low-lying areas leading to house collapses and traffic jams in Ghat Gate, MI Road, Ghat ki Guni, Sanganer, PRN, and other areas.

The Meteorological Centre in Jaipur alerted for heavy rains in Jaipur, Ajmer, Kota, and Bharatpur regions for five more days.
