28 Jul
Summary
- Southwest monsoon has become active again across Rajasthan, causing widespread rainfall.
- One person died due to house collapse in Sirohi district during heavy rains.
- Several districts experienced heavy showers, leading to swollen rivers and damaged roads.
The southwest monsoon has intensified across Rajasthan, ushering in active rainfall over numerous districts as of Tuesday. This renewed spell is expected to persist across the state until August 2. The heavy downpour has caused rivers to swell and waterfalls to flow vigorously, impacting daily life.
Tragically, one life was lost in Abu Road, Sirohi district, late Monday evening when a kutcha house collapsed under the force of the rain. Elsewhere, Udaipur experienced significant rainfall, leading to a swollen Wakal River and damaged roads that have cut off connectivity to several villages.
Further disruptions were observed in Chittorgarh's Begun area, where the Menal waterfall is now gushing. In Bharatpur, a portion of the railway station premises caved in, and Sikar's Fatehpur saw its main market inundated. Rainfall has been reported across multiple districts, with Abu Road and Rashmi recording the highest rainfall of 70 mm.
