Jaipur/Bharatpur, Aug. 1 -- Heavy rainfall across Rajasthan has thrown life out of gear, triggering a flood crisis in several districts. The situation is particularly alarming in Dholpur, where the Chambal River is flowing nearly ten metres above the danger mark, submerging multiple low-lying areas. The district administration has sounded a high alert and called in the Army for rescue operations. In Jaipur, heavy downpour since Thursday morning has caused widespread waterlogging, disrupting normal life. Alwar's district hospital was flooded due to torrential rain, while Bharatpur city witnessed severe water accumulation in residential colonies. Kota, grappling with rising Chambal water levels, was forced to open the gates of the Kota Barrage. Meanwhile, Fatehpur town in Sikar district saw a roadways bus get submerged in floodwaters, with passengers rescued using a JCB machine. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) attributed the intense rainfall to a low-pressure system that developed from a depression over the Bay of Bengal. Jaipur Meteorological Centre director Radheshyam Sharma stated that the system will start weakening from August 2, leading to a gradual decline in rainfall activity. The monsoon trough line is currently passing through Bikaner and Sikar, triggering heavy rainfall in parts of the state. The Met Department has predicted moderate to heavy rain in Bikaner and Shekhawati regions on August 1, followed by relief in most parts of the state from August 2 onwards. However, moderate to heavy rain may persist in some parts of Bharatpur and Jaipur divisions between August 3 and 6. The water level of the Chambal River has risen alarmingly across several districts in Rajasthan. In Dholpur, the river has reached 140.15 metres, surpassing the danger mark of 130.79 metres by nearly ten metres. In Mandrayal tehsil of Karauli, it stands at 167.25 metres-2.25 metres above the danger level. Similarly, in Sawai Madhopur, the river has climbed to 197.12 metres, exceeding the danger threshold by 5.12 metres. Authorities have been put on high alert as the flood threat intensifies in these regions. To tackle the flood threat, one team from the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF), four SDRF teams, and 21 civil defence volunteers have been deployed in Dholpur. In Karauli and Sawai Madhopur, two SDRF teams and 21 volunteers each have been stationed. Tonk district has deployed three SDRF teams and 21 civil defence volunteers.
