Surwal Road Blocked

DC Sawai Madhopur said that due to heavy rains in the district, the road in Surwal has been blocked due to the rapid inflow of water in Surwal dam. Travelers going to Baunli, Lalsot should not use this route, the DC said while asking commuters to alternatively use the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway until the water flow subsides.

जिले में भारी बारिश के कारण सूरवाल बांध में पानी की तेज आवक से सूरवाल में मार्ग बाधित हो गया है। #सवाईमाधोपुर से बौंली,लालसोट, आने जाने वाले यात्री इस मार्ग का उपयोग न करें। वैकल्पिक रूप से दिल्ली-मुंबई एक्सप्रेस-वे का उपयोग करें जब तक पानी का बहाव कम न हो जाए।@SPsawaimadhopur
