Heavy inflow of water in Bisalpur dam
Due to continuous heavy rain in Bhilwara and Jaipur for the last few days, the water level of Bisalpur Dam has increased rapidly. On Thursday, the water level of Triveni river reached above 4 meters, due to which the inflow of water in the dam has also increased. The gates of the dam are likely to be opened today. This situation is further increasing the possibility of flood in the area.

In eastern Rajasthan, the Meteorological Department has issued an alert of very heavy rain for the next 4-5 days. Heavy rain is expected especially in Banswara, Baran, Bundi, Chittorgarh, Dungarpur, Jhalawar, Kota, Pratapgarh, Rajsamand, Sawai Madhopur, Sirohi, Udaipur and Jalore districts.

A young man has died due to the collapse of a house due to heavy rain in Sawai Madhopur and a flood situation has arisen in Bundi.
