In these difficult times, a policeman's courageous act has ignited a new ray of hope amidst stories that bring shame to humanity.
When a Policeman Became a Lifeguard
On Saturday, near the roadways bus stand in Fatehpur, a car was half-submerged in water. A woman inside the car was calling for help, but no one came forward to rescue her. Then, Rajasthan Police Constable Satpal, who reached the spot, immediately arranged a tractor from the municipal council and, wading through waist-deep water, safely pulled the woman out. The entire scene was captured on camera by someone present there, and it has now gone viral on social media.

The Fury of the Rain, the City Turned into a Lake
In Fatehpur Shekhawati, heavy rainfall in the last 24 hours has flooded the entire city. The underpasses on Mandawa and Nawalgarh roads were so inundated that vehicles stopped functioning. People were forced to walk on railway tracks. The situation worsened to the point that the municipal council had to deploy tractors and boats to evacuate people safely.
Water Entered Shops, Businesses Hit Hard
Due to the heavy rainfall, water entered many shops near the Fatehpur bus stand, damaging the goods and causing heavy losses to the traders. Shopkeepers say that the drains were not cleaned on time, and the drainage system completely failed, leaving no way for the water to drain out. People are upset with the administration's negligence and are demanding that concrete arrangements be made to prevent such a situation from happening again.
The Weather Department's Warning
The weather department has warned that heavy rainfall may continue in Fatehpur and surrounding areas until July 13. Meteorologists say that the clouds will continue to pour down, and people should remain vigilant. There is a possibility of more heavy rain in the Shekhawati region in the next few days, which could worsen the waterlogging situation. People should take precautions while going out and follow the administration's guidelines.
An Example of Hope
While questions are being raised about the administrative system's inactivity, brave constables like Satpal are showing society that the uniform is not just a symbol of authority, but also of service and security. His bravery will become a new example of trust between the police and the general public in the coming times.
