Heavy waterlogging was witnessed in several parts of Kolkata, West Bengal, after the city received heavy rainfall on Wednesday night. The cyclonic circulation over West Bengal and Bangladesh resulted in heavy downpour, which further led to waterlogging on streets in parts of the city.
Here are some pictures and videos that show people wading through the clogged streets of Kolkata on Thursday.
