Hotspots
Streets that return.
- Victoria Memorial / AJC Bose Rd
The iconic southern apron near Rabindra Sadan and the AJC Bose Flyover base. Yellow taxis crawl through waterlogged lanes around the Maidan.
- Central Avenue & MG Rd Junction
Historic low-lying north Kolkata bottleneck. Trams halt and hand-pulled rickshaws navigate waterlogged tracks near College Street.
- Thanthania / College Street
Classic north Kolkata monsoon scene. The entire academic and publisher book market transforms into a waterlogged canal after an hour of downpour.
- Salt Lake Sector V
IT park service road. Cabs turn back. Holds into the night.
- Park Street & Camac Street
Intense downpours temporarily overload colonial-era underground drains, pooling outside commercial plazas and restaurants.
