Jaipur/Bharatpur, Aug. 11 -- Heavy rain disrupted normal life across Rajasthan on Monday, causing widespread waterlogging, affecting road movement and prompting rescue operations in several districts. Around 40 students and teachers were rescued after water surrounded a government school in Jhalawar, while hundreds of residents in Bharatpur protested against prolonged waterlogging in their colonies. In Bharatpur, residents blocked a road to protest against the Bharatpur Development Authority, alleging that several colonies had been severely affected by waterlogging and that residents had no alternative routes to reach their homes. Schoolchildren were also forced to travel through waterlogged roads, raising concerns among parents about their safety. Former Municipal Corporation councillor Samundra Singh said residents had repeatedly approached the district administration for relief. He warned that if the waterlogging problem was not addressed, residents would stage a dharna at the district collector's office. Bharatpur Development Authority commissioner Kanisk Kataria said some of the affected colonies had been developed in low-lying areas prone to waterlogging. He said the authority had planned new drains to improve water discharge and had inspected the affected areas. Water pumps had also been installed at several locations to move accumulated water. In Jhalawar, heavy rain caused water to enter the government upper primary school in Kachra Khedi village in the Raipur area. Around 40 students and teachers became trapped after water surrounded the school. Police and rescue teams reached the spot and evacuated everyone safely before they were taken to secure locations and later dropped at their homes. Heavy rain also caused a sharp rise in inflow into the Kalisindh dam in Jhalawar. Authorities opened 12 gates to regulate the flow and were preparing to release around 1.11 lakh cusecs of water through seven gates as the reservoir level continued to rise. The Kalikhar dam overflowed, while six gates of Kota's Nonera-Aibara dam were opened after its water level reached 214.50 metres. Jaipur's Kanota dam had also overflowed on Sunday. Several other districts reported disruption, with roads inundated in Barmer and Sri Dungargarh in Bikaner. The Meteorological Centre, Jaipur, forecast active monsoon conditions over most parts of Rajasthan for the next two to three days, with heavy to very heavy rain likely at isolated locations, particularly in southern and southeastern Rajasthan....
