To manage the rising water levels, the gates of Fatehsagar Lake in Udaipur have been deepened. In Jhadol area, the Wakal river is flowing in full spate, submerging the Vas-Narsingpura link road bridge and cutting off access between the two villages.

Heavy Rains Cause Flooding 

In Jaisalmer, heavy rainfall triggered flooding in Ramdevra, where the wall of a local pond, along with its sails and stairs, collapsed under the impact of waterlogging. Authorities have issued strict advisories, restricting people from approaching rivers and reservoirs for safety reasons.
