Rajasthan is currently facing severe flooding as heavy rainfall has caused many rivers to swell. In response, the gates of several major dams, including the Bisalpur and Kota Barrage, have been opened. Under the directives of the Chief Minister, disaster management teams are actively engaged in relief operations.

According to the meteorological department, the intense rainfall has led to flood-like conditions across various districts, prompting the opening of dam gates. A weather official in Jaipur reported that in the last 24 hours, cities in Rajasthan experienced heavy to extremely heavy rainfall.

The Jaipur Meteorological Center noted significant rainfall in districts such as Kota, Bhilwara, Jhalawar, Chittorgarh, Pratapgarh, Tonk, Sirohi, Rajsamand, Pali, Bundi, Baran, Banswara, and Ajmer. The highest rainfall recorded in eastern Rajasthan was 242 mm in Ramganj Mandi, Kota, and 235 mm in Jaitura, Bhilwara. In western Rajasthan, Bali in Pali district saw the most rainfall at 88 mm.

The weather department has forecasted heavy to very heavy rainfall in parts of Ajmer, Jaipur, Bikaner, and Jodhpur divisions on Thursday. Official reports indicate that several locations in Sawai Madhopur, Baran, and Tonk received over 150 mm of rain in the past 24 hours. In light of the heavy rainfall, three gates of the Bisalpur dam in Tonk have been opened, each raised by one meter, releasing 18,030 cusecs of water.

Officials reported that the water level of the Chambal River in Dholpur has risen to 140.15 meters, which is 9.36 meters above the danger mark of 130.79 meters. The Chambal River is also flowing several meters above the danger level in the districts of Karauli and Sawai Madhopur. In Kota, the water level of the Parvati River is recorded at 3.35 meters above the danger mark, leading to the opening of gates eight and nine of the Kota Barrage by 16 feet, releasing 19,236 cusecs of water.

Following the directives of Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma, officials from the state's disaster management and relief department have initiated extensive efforts to protect residents from monsoon-related incidents. A National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) team has been deployed in Kota, along with three teams from the State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) and 21 volunteers from civil defense.

NDRF and SDRF teams have also been stationed in Dholpur, Karauli, Sawai Madhopur, and Tonk. Given the current situation, additional requests for two teams have been made to the NDRF commandant in Vadodara. The disaster management and relief department has advised residents to contact the state-level control room toll-free number 1070 or the district-level control room toll-free number 1077 for flood rescue and relief assistance.
