As a deepening low pressure system develops in the Bay of Bengal, heavy rainfall is expected to impact Kolkata and surrounding coastal districts. Authorities have already issued a ban on fishing activities starting Wednesday, urging fishermen to return from the sea. With forecasts predicting heavy to extremely heavy rainfall, local administrations in south 24 parganas have begun public announcements to prepare residents for the impending weather.
In areas such as Gangasagar, Namkhana, Kakdwip, Patharpratima, Canning, and Gosaba, awareness campaigns are being conducted both on land and water to alert locals. Residents living near riverbanks are being advised to move to safer locations as winds are expected to reach speeds of 30 to 40 kilometers per hour, adding to the urgency of the situation. The community is urged to stay vigilant as the weather conditions evolve, highlighting the importance of preparedness in the face of nature’s unpredictability.
