Widespread flooding has submerged colonies, disrupted rail services, and forced closure of multiple national highways. Nearly 10,000 people are reportedly confined to their homes due to waterlogging and blocked roads.

The meteorological department has issued a red alert for heavy rainfall in three districts on Tuesday, along with an orange alert in ten other districts and a yellow alert in 20. In view of the worsening situation, government and private schools in Kota and Pali districts will remain closed on July 15.
