AFTER TWO years of restricted motion owing to the Covid-19 pandemic, revellers on Saturday took to pandal hopping within the metropolis with vigour on Sasthi, the primary day of the Durga Puja pageant. Nevertheless, rain performed spoilsport as heavy showers lashed completely different elements of Kolkata and its outskirts.
In keeping with the India Meteorological Division (IMD), scattered to pretty widespread mild or average showers with remoted heavy rain (64.5 mm-115.5 mm) are very doubtless over Gangetic West Bengal on Saptami and Ashtami (October 2 and three). Heavy rains are doubtless over Sub-Himalayan West Bengal on Navami (October 4). Additionally, mild rainfall accompanied by remoted thunder is feasible for the following three days.
Kolkata, Bankura, Bardhaman, Birbhum, Howrah, Hooghly, Murshidabad, Nadia, North 24 Parganas, Paschim Medinipur, Purba Medinipur, Purulia, South 24 Parganas and Uttar Dinajpur districts of West Bengal are among the many locations at which rain has been forecast in subsequent three days.
