After a long dry spell, Rajasthan was finally blessed with much needed rain. Over the course of three days, many districts of Rajasthan experienced heavy rain, with some areas receiving up to 95 millimeters. One area – Bagidora in Banswara – even received an incredible 356 millimeters of rain in a single day.
The result of the rain was that five major dams – Mahi Bajaj, Jawai, Kalisindh, Somkamala, and Kota barrages – saw their water levels increase and had to open their gates. One unexpected consequence of this was that Beneshwar Dham in Dungarpur became an island due to the 16 gates of the Mahi Dam being opened. Fortunately, the 48 people living in the area were prepared and had all the necessary supplies.
Weather experts pointed to a low-pressure system in the Bay of Bengal that had grown stronger and become a noticeable system. It is currently active in the region of Madhya Pradesh, and experts believe it will bring more rain over the next few days.
Finally, the government of Rajasthan has been gathering over 2.5 crore suggestions for the state's Vision 2030 ahead of the upcoming assembly elections. It is clear that the people of Rajasthan are preparing for a better future.
