Four individuals, including two young children, succumbed to rain-related incidents in Rajasthan's Barmer and Dholpur districts as heavy downpours caused waterlogging in low-lying areas, officials confirmed.

The Urmila Sagar Dam on Dholpur Bari road overflowed, leading to the closure of National Highway 11B, which connects Dholpur to Karauli. According to police reports, a dilapidated house in Dholpur collapsed due to the intense rainfall, burying ten people under the debris. Tragically, two children, aged three and four, died during treatment in the hospital.
