After a day of heat and humidity, Jaipur witnessed heavy rainfall on Sunday evening, leading to severe waterlogging in several low-lying areas. The downpour hit around 6:30 pm, just as many were heading home from work, leaving thousands stranded in traffic. From 9 AM to 8 PM in Jaipur, over 4 inches of rain has been recorded.
Key areas affected Localities such as Sanganer, Mansarovar, JLN Marg, MD Road, Sanganer Gate, Chaardivari area, Chandpole, and Sikar Road saw significant rainfall. The Bajaj Nagar area faced water accumulation even before the rain began, with sewer water already covering the roads. Once the rain started, the situation worsened.
Waterlogging and traffic disruptions Heavy waterlogging was reported in areas like Malviya Nagar, Sanganer, and the Nandpuri underpass. Traffic slowed to a crawl across the city, and many commuters from the outskirts found themselves stuck between office and home.
Rainfall data JLN Marg recorded about 25 mm (one inch) of rain by late evening. Meanwhile, Narana saw 20 mm, and the Phagi area received 12 mm of rainfall.
More rain likely According to the weather department, more rain is expected in the coming hours. The administration has urged citizens to stay alert and exercise caution, especially in low-lying areas
