Jaipur, September 9 (Kiran News) — The monsoon has started showing signs of weakening in RAJASTHAN, with most parts of the state witnessing clear skies on Monday. However, alerts for heavy rainfall remain in place for Jaisalmer and Barmer, where schools have been ordered shut on Tuesday.
In the past 24 hours, Barmer, Jaisalmer, Jalore, and Sirohi districts received 1–2 inches of rain due to the impact of a depression system. Heavy rainfall in Jalore caused soil erosion on the Bharatmala Expressway, washing away a large stretch of the highway.
Tragic incidents were reported from different parts of the state:
-
In Bharatpur, the collapse of a house claimed two lives.
-
In Deeg’s Dubokar village, a two-storey house caved in, killing a brother and sister, and injuring four others.
-
In Udaipur’s Jhadol area, a landslide occurred on National Highway-58E, while in Sayra, an elderly man was swept away while crossing a culvert; his body was found seven kilometres away.
-
In Sawai Madhopur’s Chauth Ka Barwara, a government school verandah collapsed, though no major injuries were reported.
According to the Meteorological Centre, Jaipur, the low-pressure system over southwest Rajasthan has moved towards southeast Pakistan after intensifying into a deep depression. It is expected to gradually weaken over the next 24 hours. As a result, rainfall activity in Rajasthan is likely to slow from September 10, with mostly clear weather in several districts. Still, heavy rain has been predicted for Jaisalmer and Barmer on September 9.
