Amid escalating urban flooding, Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma led a crucial review meeting on Sunday to address the crisis. With severe rainfall affecting 36 districts, the chief minister emphasized the need for public safety and instructed officials to maintain high alertness levels.

Sharma directed immediate and sensitive implementation of rescue operations, ensuring essential services such as water and electricity remain uninterrupted.
