Heavy rains in Rajasthan, Delhi disrupt normal life

Jaipur/ New Delhi: Heavy rains have thrown normal live out of gear in several parts of the country including Rajasthan and the Delhi-NCR region.
The Rajasthan Meteorological Department has predicted more rains even as 27 have died in two days of torrential rain in the state. According to the Met heavy rainfall is expected in Tonk and Jaipur in the next 24 hours. Of the 27 people who have lost their lives, 10 are from Jaipur.
The worst affected districts in the state are Sikar, Sawai Madhopur, Nagaur and Jhunjhunu. However, there was some respite for Jaipur and nearby areas as there was no rain during the intervening night of Thursday and Friday, making it easier for relief workers to speed up their work.
