Jaipur, Sept 2025: Continuous rains in Jaipur district over the past few days have caused severe waterlogging, disrupting normal life in several areas. Acting on the directions of Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma, the district administration under the leadership of District Collector Dr. Jitendra Kumar Soni is carrying out relief and rescue operations on a war footing.

Dr. Soni is closely monitoring the disaster management mission, directing that no negligence will be tolerated in relief efforts and strict action will be taken against any defaulting officials. Sub-divisional officers, tehsildars, and revenue officers have been deployed in affected regions to assess the situation and take necessary measures on the spot, with civil defense volunteers also assisting.
