Monsoon showers continue, Jaipur gets heavy rainfall
Jaipur: Monsoon showers continued across the state for the third consecutive day Friday, with many places experiencing mild to moderate showers. The rainfall exposed civic authorities' lofty claims about their preparedness for the rainy season, as rampant waterlogging was witnessed in many areas of Jaipur and other parts of the state.
Phulera (Jaipur) and Bijolia (Bhilwara) received 110 mm of rainfall, the highest in the state.
In Jaipur, almost 35 mm of rainfall was recorded by 5:30am, which created problems for commuters. The city experienced dense cloud cover in the afternoon around 1:30pm, accompanied by moderate to heavy rainfall. At Muhana Mandi, several vehicles got stuck due to the caving in of the road. Heavy waterlogging was seen on Sikar Road, Queen's Road, King's Road, Khatipura, Raja Park, Jawahar Nagar, and Shastri Nagar areas in the city.
Whether it was the cleaning of drains or other arrangements, it appears that the city is not yet prepared to handle the monsoon rainfall.
The weather remained pleasant in Jaipur, with a minimum temperature of 25 degrees Celsius recorded in the morning, followed by a maximum temperature of 28.3 degrees Celsius in the afternoon.
The Met office stated that the progress of monsoon has been good so far, as it has covered almost 23 districts in the state.

Lake levels rise 12% in 24hrs, easing water cut fears
Mumbai: The water stock in the seven lakes that supply to the city saw the steepest single-day increase this monsoon between June 19 and 20, surging from 1.9 lakh million litres (13.19% of total capacity) to 3.64 lakh million litres (25.17%). Earlier this week, on June 17 (Tuesday), the lake stock had dipped below 10%, reaching a worrying 9.78%, prompting the BMC to tap into its reserve stock, which the civic body has stopped following heavy rainfall in the lake catchment areas across Thane, Palghar and Nashik. The seven lakes are: Tansa, Bhatsa, Modak Sagar, Tulsi, Vihar, Upper Vaitarna, and Middle Vaitarna. Officials from the hydraulic department attributed the 12% jump in lake stock to intense rainfall in their catchment areas. The rise has eased fears of immediate water cuts. The civic body usually imposes water cuts in the 5-10% range in June of there is inadequate rainfall. Last year, for instance, a 10% water cut was imposed in the city from June 5 to July 29 after lake levels had dipped. Civic hydraulic department chief engineer Purshottam Malawade said that water cuts had anyway been ruled out as the BMC dipped into reserves, which would have sustained the city's needs until July. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Memperdagangkan CFD Emas dengan salah satu spread terendah?

Mumbai has a daily water requirement of 4,200 MLD (million litres per day). Meanwhile, Ransai Dam has begun overflowing, bringing relief to Uran township. The MIDC-run dam, which provides 35 million litres of water a day to Uran, ONGC, defence facilities, JNPT, Nhava Sheva, and 22 grampanchayats in Uran taluka, has resumed regular distribution. The facility implemented twice-weekly water restrictions since December due to reduced levels but has now achieved its complete storage capacity of 10 million cubic metres following substantial rainfall. Earlier this week, Powai lake, which supplies 10 MLD of water for industrial purposes, overflowed. Concerns over the lake have been consistent as 16-18 MLD of sewage enters it. BMC said it has a plan that includes diverting sewage lines, setting up a sewage treatment plant, and intensifying the removal of water hyacinth to restore the ecological health of the lake.

Signs with weather info, heat precautions put up in markets across Delhi
Alterable signs showing weather information of the day and preventive heat measures have been put up in at least 15 markets in the city to spread awareness among the vendors and visitors. These include Lajpat Nagar, Defence Colony, and others. The initiative by the India Meteorological Department (IMD) and Greenpeace India aims to make weather information more accessible and for people to be cautious during heatwave conditions.

(Sanchit Khanna/HT Photo) The colour-coded signs — changed by the market volunteers on a daily basis — contain heat range information of the day, maximum temperature, precautionary measures like water reminder and clothing advice, and forecast of the day. These can be changed depending on the temperature, with four different sets for temperatures between 30 and 50 degrees Celsius. The IMD had held a workshop last week where voluntary workers were trained on weather measurements and data, heat protection measures, and their role in spreading awareness. These boards can be seen in markets such as New Friends' Colony, near the Lotus Temple in Kalkaji, Vigyan Bhawan, and Kalyanpuri. 'The signs have been put up in at least 15-20 markets in different areas, including Defence Colony, Lajpat Nagar, Mayur Vihar Phase-3, Nehru Place, Vigyan Bhawan, and Kalyanpuri,' said Parmatma Prasad, a book vendor at a market in New Friends' Colony. The signs have also been put up near tourist sites, such as near the Lotus Temple and the Red Fort. Prasad along with mehendi artist Kuldeep Singh manage the sign in the NFC market. 'The sign and the training have definitely been helpful. We didn't understand the precautions to be taken as per the heat intensity, now we are aware. The sign also reminds me to drink more water,' Singh said. Some other areas where the signs have been installed are Naraina Vihar, Sangam Vihar, and Punjabi Bagh. 'Now, members of different workers associations themselves will roll these out,' said Nibedita Saha, a member of Greenpeace.

City's civic infra fails first rain test
1 2 Lucknow: Revealing serious lapses in civic infrastructure maintenance, the service lane of Ring Road near Indiranagar Sector 18 collapsed after the season's first rainfall, forming a 15-foot-wide crater. The public works department has barricaded the area. As a temporary measure, the crater has been filled with debris and rubbish to prevent any untoward incident. Repair work has begun, but the blame game among govt agencies has already started. PWD sources alleged that Lesa had recently laid underground cables without proper coordination, which might have weakened the surface. Meanwhile, confusion prevailed over jurisdiction. Zone-7 zonal officer Akash Kumar said the area falls under the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI). He added that sewer and drain maintenance is the responsibility of LMC. Residents reported that while the sludge from drains was removed during pre-monsoon cleaning, it was left on the roadside and washed back into the drains with the rain, defeating the purpose. Waterlogging was also reported near the Daliganj Crossing underpass, where a small crater developed following the downpour. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Walgreens Keeps Quiet About This '9 Pills for $7' Generic Cialis Deal Health Alliance by Friday Plans Learn More Undo On G-20 Road, the road caved in after heavy rainfall. For pedestrian safety, wooden planks have been installed around the cavity. At Vijayant Khand-3, houses faced severe waterlogging. The road in front of Neem Upvan Park was submerged, making it difficult for residents to step outside their homes. In Sushant Golf City, Resident Welfare Association president ML Sahu shared that even a short spell of rain leads to severe water accumulation. Residents of Paradise Crystal Apartments, A-4, and Santushti-2 Apartments continue to face hardships due to chronic drainage issues. Near the Ram Manohar Lohia Park crossing, a tree was uprooted, blocking the road and causing traffic snarls. Municipal Commissioner Gaurav Kumar conducted an inspection of the Smart City Control Room to review the status of flood pumping stations and monitor complaints received during Thursday night's rainfall. He directed officials to ensure the timely resolution of all complaints and to follow up with citizens for feedback after the issue is addressed. Highlighting the vulnerability of low-lying areas, he said all municipal teams are on high alert to tackle waterlogging and other rain-related issues. Helpline nos.
