Three people, including a toddler, died in a wall collapse following heavy rain in Rajasthan's Bikaner and as many were rescued after being stuck while crossing a stream overflowing with rainwater in Tonk. Light to moderate rain was recorded in many districts, including Jaipur, Tonk, Sawai Madhopur, Kota, Chittorgarh, Jhunjhunu, Alwar, Udaipur and Jodhpur on Friday, a spokesperson for the Jaipur Meteorological Centre said. The heavy rain in Tonk on Friday caused rivers and streams to overflow. The increased inflow also caused the water level in many dams to rise. In the Namokiya village of the Malpura area in Tonk, three people on a tractor were stuck in the fast-flowing water while crossing a stream. They were rescued by police, Malpura SHO Chenaram said. The administration has declared a holiday in schools for two days as a precaution, he added.

A rail track that cuts through the main Bikaner market and divides the city between east and west has become an unlikely poll issue with people united on one central point that the traffic jams must stop and politicians must fulfil their promise to provide an elevated road. People residing in the area said that the track causes traffic snarls across the market on a daily basis. "This is a burden in the city. Just because of this track, the development of the entire city remains stalled. The city is divided into two parts -- East and West. There are situations of medical emergencies that affect both sides. When there is a traffic jam in this area, it takes at least an hour to clear the roads," Gehlot told PTI. Earlier, a resolution was passed during the Assembly budget for a bypass but nothing materialised later, he said while alleging that no party leader has taken any initiative to resolve the issue. "The political leaders can only indulge in blame games. That's all they do," he
