Residents were directed to stay indoors as part of emergency protocols. Blackouts remained in effect in Barmer, Jaisalmer, Sriganganagar, and Bikaner as a precaution. Surveillance and alert levels remain high across western Rajasthan.
In Jaisalmer, drone presence was reported in urban zones and areas such as Mohangarh. Security officials confirmed cross-border drone activity.
