The Rajasthan Meteorological Department has warned of heavy rain in eastern Rajasthan until Aug 26, with waterlogging reported across several districts and flight diversions from Delhi to Jaipur.
The Rajasthan Meteorological Department has issued a heavy‑rain warning for the eastern part of the state, effective through 26 August. The alert follows a series of showers that have intensified over the past few days, raising concerns of further flooding.
District officials in Alwar, Bharatpur, and Dholpur reported waterlogging on major roads and low‑lying areas, disrupting local traffic and agricultural activities. Emergency response teams have been deployed to clear drainage channels and assist residents in affected villages.
Separately, adverse weather conditions over Delhi prompted the diversion of twelve scheduled flights bound for Jaipur, as airlines rerouted aircraft to alternate airports to ensure passenger safety. The diversions underscore the broader impact of the regional weather disturbance.
Authorities have urged citizens to stay updated via official channels, avoid non‑essential travel in flood‑prone zones, and cooperate with relief efforts until the weather stabilises.
