A day after making landfall, Remal weakened into a cyclonic storm on Monday morning and is now likely to move northeastwards and weaken further, the Met department has said.
The weather department has further predicted more rains in Kolkata and other cities along with the southern districts, including Nadia and Murshidabad.
Meanwhile, flights from the Kolkata airport resumed after they remained suspended for around 21 hours in view of the cyclone Remal.
IndiGo's Kolkata-Port Blair flight was the first one to depart on Monday at 8.59 AM, while the first plane that landed in Kolkata was SpiceJet's flight from Guwahati, which arrived at 9.50 AM, an Airports Authority of India (AAI) top official stated.
According to sources, the process of resuming flight operations has begun, but it is expected to take some more time for the situation to come back to normal.
