Heavy rain floods Kolkata, causing waterlogged streets and traffic jams
Kolkata woke up to heavy rain on Friday, which led to waterlogged streets, traffic jams, and even a school in Howrah having to cancel classes because of flooding.
Central Kolkata, Salt Lake, and Sector V were especially hit during rush hour.
The city's civic teams jumped into action, pumping out water and working to clear blocked roads.
Kolkata officials, North Bengal on alert
Kolkata officials say their teams are on high alert and ready for anything, especially with the big International Day of Yoga event (and Prime Minister Modi's visit) coming up soon.
Meanwhile, North Bengal is facing its own challenges: nonstop rain has pushed the Teesta River higher, triggering a yellow alert near the Bangladesh border.
Weather experts warn that places like Jalpaiguri could see even more downpours, so people living by the river are being told to stay extra careful.
