KOLKATA: Substantial areas of the town have been spared from inundation because it did not function as it had been anticipated, however some south Kolkata regions went under water following high wave headed to Adi Ganga — also called Tolly’s Nullah — overflowing. Scores of homes across the canal were bombarded. Based on KMC drainage department resources, large regions of Bhowanipore, Kalighat, Chetla, Hastings and several sections of Tollygunge, that can be found across Tolly’s Nullah, were sought following the high tide attained the peak of 17.3feet in the Hooghly.

Lots of individuals residing along Tolly’s Nullah was eliminated as a preventative measure. The CM has requested that the police commissioner to change others who are at risk. All police stations are maintained on high alert so that authorities may evacuate marooned people to safer places in short note. “I live in Kalighat and that I understand the way the areas close to the canal proceed under water. It’s a issue. Those in Bagbazar and other areas near the river have to be changed,” Banerjee said. On Wednesday, a few of the slums and makeshift home units across Tolly’s Nullah at Chetla and Hastings have been the worst affected. A KMC source stated a number of residents of a slum in Chetla had to be changed in their homes as the water level at Tolly’s Nullah increased menacingly throughout the high tide. Kalpana Mondal, a resident of Chetla Lock Gate slum, stated:”Over 15 minutes of their water level increasing, my area was flooded. We immediately made a decision to take the valuables out and left to get a safer location,” Mondal stated. Rajen Guin, who possesses a store at Kalighat, near some ghat across the canal, rued that water had entered his store and ruined his products. “My company took a toll now as wave water flooded my store,” Guin said.
