Kolkata rotates from heavy rainfall and leaves large parts a city watering just before Durga Puja. The half of the lives as a result of electric current. The city remains paralyzed, with affected metro and trains services, schools closed and several flights are delayed. The inhabitants took X to express their frustration, and many of which were described as “catastrophic” and described its impact as “worse than the amphlan cyclone”.
Flooded streets and houses
Several videos shared on the streets of social media flooded water and are trying to move the vehicles. Some residents even compared the situation with Venice, Italy, the so -called “floating city”.
Visuals from all over the city showed immersed roads and parked vehicles as the day began. Videos circulating on WhatsApp and other platforms also captured water entering households and left many residences deep ankles in the water.
“I think Kolkata has just received record rainfall. There are virtually no news yet, but it could be so. The rain started around midnight and raining. The same thing.
“We have a single -storey house. It’s been the first time in my life that I see so much water accumulates. Even even during the amphan cyclone water she didn’t enter the house. It will be disastrous if the rain doesn’t stop,” he shared another.
