MAMATA ANNOUNCES COMPENSATION; CLOSES SCHOOLS
The heaviest overnight rainfall in years wreaked havoc across Kolkata, submerging vast areas, bringing public life to a standstill, and claiming at least eight lives through electrocution.
Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, on Tuesday, announced jobs for the families of the deceased and urged the private power utility CESC to provide compensation to them.
The deluge, measuring 251.4 mm in less than 24 hours, was reportedly the highest since 1986 and the sixth-highest single-day rainfall in the past 137 years, surpassed only by 369.6 mm in 1978, 253 mm in 1888, and 259.5 mm in 1986
