Man Killed in House Collapse Amid Heavy Rainfall in Rajasthan; Monsoon to Persist

A tragic incident occurred in Madoli village, Sawai Madhopur, on Thursday when a house collapsed due to heavy rainfall, resulting in the death of Aman Meena. His body was recovered from the debris after post-mortem and handed over to his family. 

Over the last 24 hours, significant rainfall was recorded across Rajasthan with Chittorgarh receiving 37 mm, Fatehpur 33 mm, Ajmer 19.7 mm, Mount Abu 15 mm, and other regions experiencing substantial rainfall.

Radheshyam Sharma, in-charge of the meteorological centre in Jaipur, noted that "the circulation system formed over eastern Rajasthan is over northwestern Uttar Pradesh and Haryana region on Thursday." A low-pressure area over the Bay of Bengal and Andhra Pradesh is expected to keep the monsoon active in eastern Rajasthan for the next four to five days, with heavy rain predicted in southern and southeastern parts. 

"There is a strong possibility of heavy and sometimes very heavy rains continuing in southern and southeastern Rajasthan for the next four to five days," Sharma added. Rainfall is expected to reduce from September 10, with an increase in maximum temperatures anticipated in Bikaner and Jodhpur divisions from September 8 and 9, respectively.
