Jaipur, Aug. 5 -- In the wake of heavy rainfall and widespread flooding, chief minister Bhajan Lal Sharma on Monday conducted an aerial survey of the worst-affected areas in Sawai Madhopur, Karauli, and Dholpur districts to assess the damage. Emphasising the state's commitment to long-term solutions, Sharma said the government is focusing on improving drainage systems, cleaning water channels, and strengthening flood prevention infrastructure - particularly in flood-prone villages along the Chambal river. He interacted with residents in the worst-hit areas of Chakchainpura (Sawai Madhopur), Mandrayal (Karauli), and Bishnoda (Dholpur), and instructed officials to carry out relief operations promptly and efficiently. The CM also reviewed damage in rain-affected villages including Chakeri, Jadawata, Ajanoti, Menpura, Dhanoli, Soorwal, and Khandar in Sawai Madhopur district; Kased, Kemkach, Todi, Malhapura, Rancholi, Rahughat, and Mandrayal in Karauli district; and Kathumra, Mehmadpura, Bakspura, Basai Ghiyaram, Andhiyari, Nibhi Ka Tal, and Urmila Sagar Dam (Bari) in Rajakheda sub-division of Dholpur district. Sharma assured support to the locals and said: "The government is continuously monitoring the situation arising from the unusually heavy rainfall this year. Regular feedback is being gathered through meetings with district collectors, local representatives, and administrative officials." "The government is working on long-term solutions to address the recurring problems caused by rains and floods. Special attention is being given to strengthening the drainage systems, cleaning of drains, and building robust flood prevention infrastructure," he said. He added that permanent solutions will be implemented in villages along the Chambal river that face flood threats during periods of excessive rainfall.

While northeastern Rajasthan may receive moderate to isolated heavy rainfall, most parts of western Rajasthan are likely to remain mostly dry, with only light rain expected at a few locations over the next four to five days, the official said....
