New Delhi: Heavy rainfall caused waterlogging on the runway of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport in Kolkata, West Bengal after incessant downpours hit the city and nearby districts on Saturday as a low-pressure area turned into a deep depression.
The heavy rain caused waterlogging in Kolkata, Howrah, Salt Lake, and Barrackpore. The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) said the situation would persist throughout the day, Hindustan Times reported.
Police reported ankle-deep water in central and south Kolkata, but traffic was not disrupted. Some areas experienced up to 7 cm of rainfall since Friday afternoon, the report said.
“The low pressure over Jharkhand and Gangetic West Bengal turned into a deep depression, moving towards Bihar and Uttar Pradesh. This, along with an active monsoon trough over southern West Bengal, caused the rains,” the official explained.
