Kolkata: While the entire Kolkata was immersed in the festival of Durga Puja, on the other hand, the anniversary of the sky turned the entire celebration into mourning. The record breaking rains for the last 24 hours have caused havoc in the “City of Joy”, in which 10 people have died so far.
City became a pond, public life is disturbed
The situation is so bad that the roads of the city have turned into rivers. Water is filled from knees to waist everywhere, causing traffic to come to a complete standstill. It has become difficult for people to leave their homes. The most impact is on areas like Southern Kolkata and Dum Dum. In view of this terrible situation, the state government has already announced the time of Durga Puja holidays and today has ordered all schools and colleges to be closed.
Air service also affected
The havoc of rain is not limited to the roads. Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport of Kolkata has also been flooded, causing more than 90 flights so far. Thousands of passengers are stranded at the airport, causing an atmosphere of chaos.
Heavy loss to puja pandals
The most sad thing is that many of the puja pandals that were prepared by months have been submerged or destroyed in water. Both the organizer and the devotee are very disappointed and unhappy with this natural disaster. The Meteorological Department has also issued an alert for heavy rain for the next 24 hours, which has increased the concern of the people.
