At least three persons died of electrocution in rain-hit areas of Kolkata, officials said, as very heavy overnight rainfall triggered widespread waterlogging that brought traffic, public transport and daily life in the city and its surroundings to a grinding halt on Tuesday (September 23, 2025).
“Three persons have died due to electrocution, as per our reports so far,” an official of the Lalbazar Police Control said.
Train and Metro Railway services were disrupted in the city and suburbs owing to waterlogging of tracks, officials said.
