On August 24, even though the flood situation was a little better after the water started receding, numerous parts in several districts are still submerged under water amid heavy rainfall, officials said.

According to an official of the state disaster management and relief department, teams of the district administration, Indian Army, police, Air Force, National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) and State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) have successfully rescued nearly 4,302 individuals from the flood-affected areas on August 23 and August 24 in Jaipur.
Furthermore, 13 people were airlifted from Baran district's Khurai village on Tuesday, and the helicopter is on standby at Kota airport.
