A powerful deep depression has formed over East Rajasthan, causing significant weather disruptions in Rajasthan, Gujarat, and neighboring regions. Heavy rainfall, strong winds, and flooding are expected, impacting transportation, including rail and air travel. Authorities advise residents to stay alert and take necessary precautions.
Kolkata and surrounding areas experienced heavy rainfall on Saturday due to a deep depression, causing widespread waterlogging, including at the Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) issued a red alert for Alipurduar, forecasting heavy rains and a yellow alert for Kolkata and other Gangetic West Bengal districts. While the airport runway remained operational, some parking stands were affected by waterlogging. City police reported ankle-deep water in parts of Kolkata, but traffic was not disrupted. The downpour, attributed to a deep depression shifting towards Bihar and Uttar Pradesh, significantly impacted daily life and transportation in the region.
