Jaipur, Sep 12 (IANS) Heavy rains have created flood-like situations in different parts of Rajasthan. Schools have been shut in Ajmer, Dholpur and Sawai Madhopur because of the heavy rains and the danger of flooding.

A total of four people fell into a rain drain due to the collapse of its culvert near the old bus stand in the city.
People present on the spot rescued one person, but three people were washed away and were pulled out of the drain further down after a long distance.

There is no electricity in many colonies and people are confined to their homes finding it difficult to go out to buy daily necessities.
Met officials said that the depression system formed over the Bay of Bengal has now reached the Rajasthan-Madhya Pradesh border.
