Jaipur/Bharatpur, Aug. 26 -- Twelve people have died due to incessant rainfall in various parts of Rajasthan since Sunday, officials familiar with the matter said on Monday. Meanwhile, the Indian Meteorological Department has forecast that heavy to very heavy rainfall will continue in parts of the state for the next three to four days. According to officials, two minors drowned in a pond in Churu, two people died in a house collapse in Nagaur, four children drowned in a water-filled mine near Udaipur, and in Jhalawar, a car carrying four people was swept away - killing two, including a government school teacher, while two remain missing. In Udaipur's Rishabhdev area, a mud house collapsed, killing the brother of a former sarpanch. A 22-year-old man drowned after being caught in a sudden surge of the Banas river in Abu Road. The Indian Meteorological Department on Monday stated that the state has recorded 499.27 mm of rainfall between June 1 and August 24 - around 48% above normal. In the past three days alone, several areas have received more than 100 mm of rain, with Nagaur tehsil logging the highest at 173 mm in the last 24 hours, it stated. The weather department has forecast that heavy to very heavy rainfall will continue in parts of the state for the next three to four days. The relentless rain has brought large parts of Kota, Bundi, Sawai Madhopur, Karauli, Sikar, Udaipur, Churu, Nagaur, Dausa and Jhalawar to a standstill. Kota University postponed examinations scheduled for Tuesday, while railway tracks in Sikar and highways in Udaipur remained submerged. In Kherwara's Akot village, houses and shops were inundated, and two buffaloes were swept away. At Sirohi, a car was dragged off the Jawai river causeway, though police and locals managed to save the couple trapped inside. The district officials further said that Sawai Madhopur and Karauli remained cut off, with villagers forced to risk their lives to cross flooded streams. In Karauli's Sapotra, a pregnant woman was ferried across a river in an utensil, while in another incident, locals rescued a motorcyclist who was swept away in the current. Rising water levels - up to 4-5 feet on culverts and more than eight feet over the Kalisil dam - have left cattle rearers facing a fodder and water crisis, the officials stated. As the situation worsened, the Indian Army's Sapta Shakti Command has joined the rescue personnel. In a major operation at Nimoda Hariji village in Kota's Digod tehsil, troops evacuated and relocated more than 200 villagers, including women, children and the elderly, to safer places. Relief teams also distributed food, drinking water and medicines. The administration said that Army columns have been deployed in Nainwa, Keshoraipatan and Badi Dhandla in Bundi district, where villages remain inundated, providing much-needed reassurance and support to the civil administration. With rivers including the Banas, Chambal, Gambhira, Galwa, Nigoh and Moral flowing above danger marks, dozens of villages across Rajasthan remain marooned....
