After a severe cloudburst, Kolkata remains submerged, disrupting the Pujo fervor. The flooding has sparked a political controversy, with the opposition criticizing the Mamata government for allegedly ignoring a Met Department alert. Nine electrocution deaths have been reported, with crumbling infrastructure cited as a cause. Kolkata’s Mayor, Farhad Hakeem, responded to the crisis with statements about the gradual reduction of water levels, saying he cannot "magically make all the water disappear." He also stated that pumping stations are operational but are affected by high and low tides. Despite the widespread waterlogging and public inconvenience, the Mayor has expressed confidence that the situation will return to normal within a day or two, provided there is no more rainfall, assuring Puja committees.
