The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a heavy rainfall alert for the South Bengal region, signalling the potential for prolonged and intense showers. In response, several neighbourhoods in Kolkata have already reported waterlogging, with streets and public transport routes experiencing significant delays.
City officials warn that the situation could worsen, urging residents to avoid non-essential travel and to remain vigilant for updates from local authorities. The alert highlights the need for preparedness across the state, as similar conditions are expected to affect adjoining districts.
While detailed flood forecasts are still being refined, the IMD advises the public to follow official communications and take precautions against potential water-related hazards.
