West Bengal Flooding

West Bengal Flooding

Torrential rains have caused wide spread flooding in parts of West Bengal in India, which is on the border with Bangladesh.  According to the Times of India, as of June 21, almost 200,000 people have been left homeless due to flood waters destroying their homes.  In some cases, a number of river embarkments were breached and entire villages were swept away by the flood waters.  Below is a report from an friend of Adhyatmik Foundation on the ground in India:

"Incessant rain has led to a flood-like situation in some parts of West Bengal on Sunday, even as heavy rainfall is predicted over the next 24 hours.

Parts of Bankura, Paschim Medinipur and Hooghly districts and the Sunderbans experienced heavy rainfall over the past 72 hours. More than 500 areas in North and South 24 Parganas districts are said to be vulnerable, with breaches occurring in the embankments of several rivers.

The deep depression that formed over the northern Bay of Bengal and crossed the West Bengal coast on June 16 has weakened and moved over Jharkhand. However, heavy to very heavy rainfall is expected in the coming 24 hours, said the director of the weather section of the Regional Meteorological Centre."
