The state weather department has issued a heavy rain warning for eight districts of Rajasthan after up to 70 mm of rain fell in the eastern region, causing several reservoirs to overflow.
The Rajasthan State Disaster Management Authority (RSDMA) on Tuesday released a heavy‑rain warning covering eight districts in the state's eastern belt, citing recent precipitation of up to 70 mm in a few hours. The alert advises residents to stay alert, avoid low‑lying areas, and cooperate with local authorities.
Meteorological data from the India Meteorological Department (IMD) confirmed that the eastern districts received the highest rainfall, triggering overflow in several small dams and ponds. Local officials have deployed emergency response teams to monitor water levels and assist any communities at risk of flooding.
The department also warned that the monsoon is expected to weaken from 27 August, but short‑term showers may continue across the region. Citizens are urged to keep emergency kits ready and follow updates from official channels.
