Heavy rainfall causes flood-like situation in 3 dists
Barmer/Jalore/Sirohi/Pali: Rajasthan’s three districts — Jalore, Sirohi and Barmer — are reeling under a flood-like situation due to heavy rainfall caused by cyclonic storm Biparjoy, an official said on Sunday.
Officials said the Army and the National Disaster Response Force have been requested to remain on standby for any eventuality. At least six people were rescued by the State Disaster Relief Force (SDRF) in Pali district after they were stuck due to waterlogging.
The cyclone is very likely to continue to move towards east-northeastwards and maintain the intensity of depression during the next 12 hours, the MeT office said.
