Kolkata: Heavy rain destroyed the city starting at 11am to noon, flooded several regions on Tuesday.
High spring in Hooghly on Tuesday afternoon worsened the situation in the areas along Nullah Tolly.
Some roads at BBD Bagh also watched waterlogging because of the ups and downs as a key gate along Hooghly closed.
However, this low pressure system moves away.
“From Tuesday and so on, the weather will increase as far as rainfall.
The temperature will also begin to rise,” said GK DAS (Weather) director at the Kolkata Regional Meteorology Center.
The low pressure system will move to Vidarbha, Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat gradually.
As a result, rainfall in Bengal will slow down from Tuesday and so on.
Rain was caused by a low pressure area which was well marked in Chhatisgarh with a trough, which stretched from there to Bangladesh throughout Bengal and Orissa, brought rain.
While all parts of South Bengal received light to moderate rain, regions in 24 South Pargana, East and West Midnapore and Jharkhand watched several heavy shower spells.
However, the office meets is keeping a close tab in other low pressure areas that tend to form on the Bay of Bengal on September 11.
The heavy rain for one hour was inconsistent throughout Kolkata.
Some areas in the city receive more than 30mm on average rain in one hour.
The Kolkata Municipal Corporation drainage network can hardly pump 10mm rainwater in one hour.
Anxious civil administration decided to operate all heavy duty pumps at the main drainage pumping station to save certain lowly pockets from severe water when it rained until late at night.
Went with the rainfall pattern as noted by the KMC drainage pumping station, while northern kolgachhia bags such as Belgaachhia, Ultangga or Maniktala received rainfall of less than 30mm between 11am and during the day, several South Kolkata areas such as Jodhpur Park and Kalighat receives rain of more than 40mm time.
Pumping Station Drainage Palmer Bridge in Belaghata also recorded 40mm rainfall in one hour.
A Sewerage official and the KMC drainage department said they were worried about the prone area lying down and was prone to low water due to the shower on Wednesday.
“We maintain a watch in most Thanthania, Behala, Kidderpore, Garia, Jadavpur and several areas located in Em Bypass, including Madurdaha and Mukundapur.
If necessary, we might have to press the portable pump service to remove storm water from the terrain beat,” Said citizenship officials.
For the whole city, the KMC will keep the drainage pumping station ready to fight waterlogging when it rains.
“We have asked executive engineers from all drainage pumping stations to keep all heavy duty pumps so that they can be deployed if heavy rain occurs,” said a KMC drainage department official.
