Monsoon Mayhem: Heavy Rains Disrupt Life in West Bengal

Incessant heavy rain flooded roads and low-lying areas across southern West Bengal, including Kolkata. The India Meteorological Department predicts continued rainfall due to a low-pressure system. Several districts, including North and South 24 Parganas and Jalpaiguri, will experience heavy rain, affecting daily commute and public transport services.

Heavy rains lashed several southern districts of West Bengal, including the bustling city of Kolkata, leaving roads and low-lying areas waterlogged from early Tuesday.

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecasted further light to moderate rainfall with isolated heavy to very heavy rainfall due to a persistent low-pressure area accompanied by a strong monsoon flow.

Commuters experienced significant delays as incessant rain disrupted public transport services, with some areas receiving up to 111 mm of rainfall in 24 hours.
