Kolkata, India - September 22, 2025 Video filmed by X user Syeda Shabana captures severe flooding in Kolkata following heavy rainfall since the previous night, marking the heaviest September rainfall in nearly 50 years. The footage shows streets completely underwater, affecting commercial and residential areas, including landmarks like Puja Fashion Market and Gholeshapur Railway Colony. People wade through the floodwaters while motorcycles and a van try to navigate the streets. The overcast sky indicates that heavy rain continues, adding to the disruption. Transportation has been paralyzed, with metro services and local trains unable to operate, and Durga Puja preparations have been damaged. The 29-second video highlights the widespread impact on daily life and infrastructure, with at least 10 deaths reported. Syeda Shabana noted that Kolkata has been submerged under water since last night and that daily life is completely affected.
