Jaipur rains: Three dead, 50 families evacuated from low-lying areas as heavy downpour lashes Rajasthan's capital

Jaipur: Heavy rains in Rajasthan’s capital Jaipur left three people dead, low-lying areas inundated, and brought the city to a standstill. Fifty families were moved to safer places from low-lying areas of the city, officials said. Three hours of excessive rain resulted in waterlogging in several parts of Jaipur. Scores of vehicles were submerged in water and left stranded on roads. Three people were killed and as many rescued after a jeep was swept away by strong water currents while crossing a bridge in Kanota area where a dam had overflowed, Station House Officer (SHO) Narendra Singh Khichad said. One person has been admitted to hospital for treatment, he said. The deceased were identified as Ramapratap, Paro Devi and Kanu, police said. Jaipur District Collector Antar Singh Nehra said 50 families have been evacuated from slums in Jawahar Nagar area. He said 15-20 teams of civil defence personnel and three teams of the State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) have been deployed in waterlogged areas to carry out rescue operations. The Army was alerted after the weather department warned of heavy rains, according to the officials. Traffic movement was disrupted on the Jaipur-Delhi highway as a boulder fell on the road.
