New Delhi, Sept. 23 -- Kolkata is reeling from heavy rainfall, leaving large parts of the city waterlogged just days before Durga Puja. The downpour has claimed three lives due to electrocution. The city remains paralysed, with metro and train services affected, schools closed, and multiple flights delayed. Apprehensive residents have taken to X to express their frustration, with many calling the rain "disastrous" and describing its impact as "worse than Amphan Cyclone."

Several videos shared on social media show streets inundated with water, with vehicles struggling to move. Some residents even compared the situation to Venice, Italy, the so-called "floating city."
