Heavy rainfall in Kolkata has led to five deaths from electrocution due to stagnant water. The city is experiencing massive waterlogging after receiving over 250 mm of rain in 24 hours, described as "a record rainfall that Kolkata hasn’t witnessed in several years." The downpour has severely disrupted life just a week before Durga Puja, with truncated metro services and paralysed traffic leaving office-goers stranded. An orange alert has been issued, with the weather department predicting more heavy rain. The Kolkata Municipal Corporation is working to drain the water, and authorities have disconnected the electricity supply in some areas as a precaution. The Chief Minister is reportedly monitoring the situation as the city grapples with the deluge.
