Rajasthan Floods: 6 Dead In Past 24 Hours, Schools Shut As Heavy Rains Lash Multiple Districts; VIDEO

Jaipur: Heavy to very heavy rain creates flood-like situations in parts of Rajasthan, claiming six lives due to rain-related accidents in the state in the last 24 hours.

Due to a depression over east Rajasthan, heavy rains were received in Ajmer, Pushkar, Bundi, Sawai Madhopur and Pali where rivers, drains, and dams have overflowed and many villages have lost contact with water logging in most of the areas. The capital city of Jaipur was also lashed with good rains during the last 24 hours.

The rain-related accidents claimed six lives, including a four-year child playing outside his house in Sawai Madhopur, while four girls drowned in a pond in Kishangarh, Ajmer, and three of them died.
