Flood-like situation in parts of Rajasthan due to heavy rains
JAIPUR [Maha Media]: Heavy rains have triggered a flood-like situation in parts of Rajasthan, with Sawai Madhopur among the worst-affected districts, officials said on Wednesday, adding that road and rail connectivity with Madhya Pradesh has been disrupted.
Several areas in the Sawai Madhopur district were submerged following intense rainfall since late Tuesday night. Tracks at the Sawai Madhopur railway station were inundated, and National Highway 552, connecting the district to Sheopur in Madhya Pradesh, was washed away, police said.
A surge in the Parvati river near Etawah in the Kota district has also severed connectivity between Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh. Vehicular movement on State Highway 70 (Kota-“Gwalior-“Sheopur road) has been halted.
