Unrelenting rain has turned Kolkata and nearby areas into waterlogged zones, causing severe traffic congestion and disrupting daily routines.

Heavy rainfall has persisted over Kolkata and adjoining districts, leaving streets submerged and residents stranded. The deluge has overwhelmed drainage systems, turning many roads into shallow lakes. Traffic has come to a standstill, with buses and private vehicles unable to navigate the waterlogged thoroughfares. Daily commuters, schoolchildren, and businesses are facing significant disruptions as the city struggles to cope with the relentless downpour.
