Rajasthan Weather: Heavy rains lashed several parts of Rajasthan on Wednesday, leaving many areas in Jaipur and Kota districts waterlogged with rail and road traffic disrupted.
Nine trains were halted on the Kota-Mumbai route following landslips near the Dara railway station, a spokesperson of the Kota railway division told PTI.
Waterlogging in the Dara stream forced the suspension of traffic on National Highway-52, which connects Kota and Jhalawar.
The morning downpour in the state also disrupted normal life in Jaipur, Dausa and Sikar. In Dausa, a police van rammed into a truck on the Jaipur-Agra highway amid heavy rains, leaving two personnel injured.
Severe waterlogging on Jaipur city roads and low-lying areas disrupted traffic, and normal life was upended as Tonk Road, Walled City areas, Jawahar Nagar, Raja Park, Moti Dungari Road, Gopalpura, Tonk Phatak, and Ajmer Road got submerged under four to five feet of water.
The Sawai Man Singh (SMS) Hospital was inundated, inconveniencing patients and their family members. Moreover, water also seeped inside the Kala Hanuman Ji temple.
Amid heavy downpour, power outages were reported from several areas.
Jaipur Meteorological Centre Director Radheshyam Sharma said the monsoon trough currently extends from Bikaner and Jaipur in Rajasthan through Madhya Pradesh’s Datia and Sidhi to Odisha’s Puri and into the Bay of Bengal.
The Indian Meteorological Department has issued an orange alert for very heavy rainfall in the Banswara and Pratapgarh districts on Wednesday and a yellow alert for heavy rain for Alwar, Baran, Bundi, Bharatpur and nearly a dozen other districts.
Heavy rainfall is also likely to increase in the Jodhpur and Bikaner divisions between September 5 and 7, according to IMD.
