Kolkata: Night-long rain and winds at 30 to 40 km an hour brought down dozens of trees in Kolkata, disrupting rush-hour traffic on Monday as the city returned to work after a long Durga Puja break.
Incoming flights could not land because of the weather, so hundreds of outgoing passengers are stuck at Kolkata Airport. The Railways has reported disruption because of fallen trees on rail lines.
The Alipore Met Office has said a depression in the northern Bay of Bengal is causing the disturbance and the situation is likely to get much worse before it gets better.
Districts like Hooghly, Howrah, North and South 24 Parganas are also affected.
