Heavy downpour lashes Kolkata, impede Navami celebrations
According to an IMD forecast, Kolkata and its adjoining areas will receive heavy and intermittent showers in the next 24 hours.
Meanwhile, beating the scattered to heavy rainfall, a large number of worshipers have lined up at city's modish puja pandals and are continuing their last day of pandal hopping.
"We will never stay at home during Puja days and are continuing pandal visits, holding umbrellas," Chitra Som, a worshiper, told IBNS.
"Rain could never dampen Bengali's festive spirit in these five-day affair," she added.
However, the Kolkata Traffic Police have taken several steps to keep city's traffic movable, on the rain-hit day.
