Flooding in Rajasthan due to heavy rainfall

Overview

Heavy monsoon rainfall continues to cause widespread flooding and urban disruption across several districts in Rajasthan. In Dausa, intense downpours have resulted in significant waterlogging in residential colonies, major roads, and the Adarsh vegetable market, prompting the district administration to issue advisories for residents to remain vigilant in low-lying areas.

The impact has expanded across the state, with Jaipur experiencing severe traffic congestion due to waterlogging on major roads such as Kalwar Road and Mansarovar. In the Khairthal-Tijara district, water levels reached approximately 7 feet in the Khairthal underpass, forcing authorities to close the route. Other reported disruptions include students wading through flooded streets in Alwar, business closures in Karauli marketplaces, and a wall collapse in Bharatpur.

While the rain has provided relief from heat and benefited standing crops, the ongoing weather patterns continue to pose logistical and economic challenges.
