Persistent Rainfall Disrupts Daily Life
Continuous precipitation across Rajasthan has forced administrative interventions as districts grapple with rising water levels.

Eastern Rajasthan is expected to face a continuation of this wet spell over the next several days.

Local administrators are monitoring the Parvati River, which has reached a level of 475.48 meters. While this remains below the critical threshold of 481.8 meters, the inflow to the Parvati Dam has pushed its reservoir level from 217.60 RL meters to 218.90 RL meters, prompting official alerts.
Jaipur Temperature Drops Amid Widespread Showers
