Heavy rains lashed Rajasthan's Bhilwara, Chittorgarh and surrounding districts where normal life has been thrown out of gear due to flood-like situation.

Teams of Army, NDRF and SDRF carried out rescue works as several thatched houses collapsed in different parts of Bhilwara district and villages and towns including Mandalgarh have been cut off as the roads are submerged, officials said, adding train services have been affected in the region.

Heavy rains occurred in Mandalgarh and nearby areas in Bhilwara while places which are located near the catchment area of Banas river are affected due to increase in the water level. The situation is worst in the areas which are connected with the nearby district of Chittorgarh
