Several villages are inundated with water entering buildings, houses and a private power plant in Baran.
"Many villagers had climbed trees amid gushing waters and were waiting for help. A MI-17 V5 helicopter from Air Force Station in Phalodi carried out a rescue operation and rescued 24 people from seven different locations," Defence spokesperson Lt Col Manish Ojha said.
The rescue effort will continue, he said.
