A powerful cyclone Amphan that tore into West Bengal has killed 72 people and completely devastated two districts, even as Kolkata and several parts of the State wore a battered look on Thursday, a day after the storm left thousands of people homeless, washed away bridges and swamped low-lying areas.

Packing heavy rain and winds with speeds of up to 190 kmph, the cyclone barrelled through coastal districts of North and South 24 Parganas of Bengal and Odisha on Wednesday unleashing copious rain and windstorm.

In Kolkata, hundreds of cars were overturned in the strong winds with speed up to 125 kmph that also felled trees and electricity poles blocking key arterial roads and intersections. Large parts of Kolkata and other affected districts went without power. Mobile and internet services were also disrupted as the fierce cyclone had damaged several communication towers.
