Assam floods

A downpour in the early hours of 17 June caused waterlogging in many parts of Kolkata with the Hooghly river's high tide accelerating the issue. A senior official at KMC stated the southern and western parts of Kolkata experienced heavy rains with an IMD report of 144mm rainfall. The storm water lock-gates of Hooghly has been kept shut due to the river overflowing resulting in knee-deep floods across several areas.
