Earlier on Sunday, a big portion of land collapsed in Sawai Madhopur of Rajasthan due to heavy rainfall. Continuous rainfall from the past days has wreaked havoc in Dausa district, causing widespread waterlogging and severe disruptions to daily life. Low-lying areas of the city are inundated, turning roads into rivers, severely impacting residents.
The service lane along Jaipur Road is completely submerged, with water levels reaching up to two feet in some areas. This has cut off connectivity for over half a dozen colonies, disrupting movement and isolating communities. Several homes and government offices have also been flooded due to the incessant downpour.
Poor drainage maintenance, particularly along the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI)-constructed drains, has exacerbated the situation, despite repeated complaints to the administration.
On August 23, the wall of Rambagh, located in front of the Jwala Mata Temple and used to access the Amer Fort complex, collapsed due to heavy rains. Officials subsequently suspended the elephant ride due to security concerns.

He said, keeping in mind the well-being of elephants and tourists, the elephant ride in Amer Palace has been closed till further notice. (ANI)
