Rajasthan floods: Surwal Dam overflow creates crater, submerges villages.
Heavy rainfall in Rajasthan’s Sawai Madhopur district has led to the overflowing of the Surwal Dam, resulting in severe flooding, massive land collapses, and the formation of a large crater, submerging several villages and disrupting access routes. Hundreds of residents have been evacuated, with many stranded on rooftops amidst shortages of food and water. Authorities, including Rajasthan ministers, are focusing on immediate relief and drainage measures, while the India Meteorological Department warns of continued heavy rainfall. This situation highlights the urgent need for robust infrastructure improvements to mitigate the impacts of such natural disasters in the future.
