Eight bomb disposal squads were pressed into service to detect and defuse live ammunition lying in fields, they said.
Meanwhile, situation in the affected areas was now normal and most of the residents of about six villages, who were evacuated to safer places, have returned to their homes, an official spokesman said.
The road and rail traffic, which were stopped as debris was flung around the depot due to the exploding ammunition, have been restored, he said.
The Rajasthan government announced financial assistance to the people whose houses were damaged due to the fire.
It would provide Rs 10,000 for each house damaged due to debris flung from the depot, he said.

Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Friday night directed the authorities to provide financial relief to affected villagers, he said, adding the rehabilitation grant would be given to the owners of both kutcha and pucca houses.
